Longyun Continent Chapter 52: Disciple Selection
Early morning.
The sky was just dawning.
There were thousands of people under the black pressure under Ziyun Mountain, and after hearing the sound of drums, the crowd, which was still a little noisy, instantly quieted down.
Due to the fact that there were too many people, Xiao Jing had to arrange people and divide them into two sequences, the cultivators and ordinary people lined up in two long lines, and ordinary people over fifteen years old, and cultivators over twenty years old were all excluded, which made the crowd full of dissatisfied voices, because Xiao Jing began to accidentally ignore the age limit and did not explain it in advance, which undoubtedly made many people run empty.
Although some people are dissatisfied, there is no way to do it, and in the end, in order to calm everyone's emotions, Xiao Jing also added an additional article, cultivators who have reached the spiritual realm and are under the age of thirty can participate in the selection, but it is not a selection of disciples, but they can directly become members of the Purple Cloud Gate, and the follow-up performance is excellent and can even be directly promoted to the management of the Purple Cloud Gate.
After all, Ziyunmen will continue to grow in the future, and there will always be times when you and your master are negligent in managing it by yourself. Then Xiao Jing also announced that ordinary people over the age of twenty could enter the Ziyun Gate to work if they wanted, but they were just some cooks and miscellaneous servants.
After arranging these, I saw that there were about two-thirds fewer people in the team, but the people who could not participate in the selection did not all leave, but stood at the bottom of the mountain and watched, even if there were two-thirds less, there were nearly 1,000 people left who met the standards.
Then Xiao Jing first asked people to arrange ordinary people to go into the mountains to participate in the selection, for ordinary people, it is nothing more than to look at their roots, understanding and character, watching a group of children of different sizes quietly lined up in the team, Xiao Jing also became serious, after all, the talents selected this time can be said to be the first batch of disciples of Ziyunmen in the future, which is related to the development of Ziyunmen in the future.
After looking around, Xiao Jing walked up to the youngest person and asked, "Little brother, how old are you?" ”
The kid looked a little squirming, but he still had the courage to say, "Big brother, I... I'm five years old. ”
This child was only five years old, Xiao Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him say this, then looked around, and didn't see the child's parents, so he asked again: "Who brought you here, do you know why you came here?"
Hearing this, the child's eyes were red, and he wanted to cry, but he pouted and held back, and then said boldly: "I want to come by myself, I only have my grandfather at home to accompany me, he has to go to the market to sell vegetables, he has no time to accompany me, I want to become a powerful cultivator, I can protect my grandfather in the future, so that he will not be bullied by bad people." ”
After speaking, the child looked at Xiao Jing very sincerely, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage to come here. Seeing him like this, Xiao Jing also felt soft in his heart, nodded to him, then stretched out his hand, held his arm and said, "Brother, look at your bones, don't be afraid, it won't hurt." ”
Then Xiao Jing injected a faint trace of aura into the child's body, and when the aura swam around his body, it suddenly disappeared directly, seeing this, Xiao Jing entered a trace of aura again, and the situation was still the same as just now. Then Xiao Jing looked inward and found that the two faint aura spirits were directly retained in the child's body, although the child had not yet opened up the sea of qi, but he was already able to preserve a trace of aura!
"It can't be such a coincidence, this kid's foundation is surprisingly good. Xiao Jingwan didn't expect that the first thing he encountered could be said to be a cultivation wizard, although he was still young, but if he was cultivated and guided, he would definitely achieve something in the future.
Then Xiao Jing asked people to take the child aside directly, and specially arranged for a female dependent of the City Lord's Mansion to take him to play. After all, everything is waiting for him to sift through it before it can be finally announced.
Then luck can't be so good all the time, a few people are almost physically unable to cultivate, or they have a very poor character, and they talk in a bad way, although many people deliberately hide it and want to show their best side, but how can some deep-rooted things be so easy to hide.
There was even a tall and strong child, who looked normal when he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of snort flowed out, and he was actually a stupid person!
In the end, there were nearly five hundred ordinary people, Xiao Jing only screened out thirty people, and it was not that all of them could not cultivate, but that Ziyunmen could not accept so many disciples at once, so Xiao Jing could only be stricter, even if the thirty people left behind now may have to be reduced by at least half in the end.
The conditions are indeed limited, otherwise Xiao Jing is really willing to let more ordinary people have the opportunity to cultivate, even if it is only the threshold of a beginner cultivator, it will also be a qualitative change for an ordinary family.
Next, the cultivator sequence also came to Ziyun Mountain according to Xiao Jing's requirements, and the selection of cultivators is actually not much different from ordinary people, but many casual cultivators are cultivating alone and have not been well guided, so it is inevitable that they will go into a misunderstanding, and this kind of person who has entered a misunderstanding wants to go back to the right path even more difficult than re-cultivating.
In order to save time, Xiao Jing did not treat cultivators like ordinary people this time, but brought them directly to Yanwu City, let them circle around, and surrounded themselves in the middle, and then Xiao Jing looked around and said to everyone: "I only make one move, and this move is a group attack on everyone at the same time, everyone is attacked the same, whoever can catch this move and not retreat stays, otherwise please leave the field by yourself, rest assured, I will control the strength of this move, and I will not let any of you be injured." ”
"It's... Our cultivation is uneven, and in the face of the same move, the stronger cultivation will definitely have an advantage, which is not fair. As soon as Xiao Jing's words fell, a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old raised his hand and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Jing nodded, then smiled at him and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I can guarantee that no matter how strong or weak you are, the attacks you receive will be quite for yourself, so it is absolutely fair." ”
As soon as Xiao Jing finished speaking, he flew up directly, and with Xiao Jing's movements, a huge spiritual power directly poured out of Xiao Jing's body, and then this spiritual energy instantly divided into the same number as the number of people in the field, and directly impacted everyone.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, only to hear a slight fluctuation, and then saw that there was a muffled sound in the field, and then more than half of the people were unstable and retreated towards the rear, and the retreating people saw this, and they all hugged their fists in the air and left.
And the people who didn't move were all happy, and then Xiao Jing looked at the people who stayed behind, although their cultivation was uneven, but they were all people with a solid foundation and a stable heart, and the young man who shouted unfairness just now was also standing there with a happy face at this time, and Xiao Jing also nodded slightly when he looked at him.
Xiao Jing didn't observe this young man by himself just now, but now when he looks closely, he sees that this young man is dressed in white, with a white face and capable hair, which is obviously quite vibrant, and he can guess that he must be a relatively cultivated person by looking at his behavior, but his cultivation has only just entered the Skyclave, which is a little too low for this age.
When the young man saw Xiao Jing actually looking at him, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, as if he was sorry for his questioning just now.
After the first level of the test, Xiao Jing still had a brief conversation with the remaining people present one by one, learning about some of their pasts, and the original intention of choosing Ziyunmen, and also learning about their family situation. Of course, I also learned about some of the realizations and insights in their self-cultivation.
In the final cultivator sequence, Xiao Jing only left five people, which shows that the conditions are harsh, and even many cultivators raised objections on the spot, thinking that they are fully capable of entering the Ziyun Gate, but Xiao Jing didn't bother to explain too much, and forcibly drove down the mountain gate for disobedience, which immediately attracted more dissatisfied voices under the mountain, but recruiting disciples is not charity, it must be strict and strict, so that Ziyun Gate can maintain a good development from the foundation.
However, in order to stabilize everyone's mood, Xiao Jing still promised everyone that in the future, Ziyunmen will recruit new disciples on this day every year, and those who are not selected this year can try it next year, which gradually eased everyone's emotions.
In the end, Xiao Jing only selected thirty-five people, and was ready to hand them over to the master to choose, of course, it was relatively simple to select twenty people from thirty-five, which was also why Xiao Jing didn't want the master to worry too much, after all, the master's mood had not fully recovered yet.
Then Xiao Jing selected a few people among the ordinary people to let them stay in Ziyun Mountain, although they could not join the ranks of disciples, they could work in Ziyun Mountain, and their families could also move into Ziyun Mountain to live, which not only solved the problem of food and other sundries in Ziyun Mountain in the future, but also indirectly helped those kind people who needed help.
As for the cultivators, Xiao Jing also chose two people, these two people are also righteous people, due to some reasons, they provoked some loose cultivator bullies in the outside world, and they came to Ziyun Mountain with nowhere to hide, but they are also nearly thirty years old, so Xiao Jing also can't let them join the ranks of disciples. Although he can't become a disciple, he is also a member of the Purple Cloud Sect, as for arranging what to do with them, Xiao Jing still thinks of letting the master arrange it.
From early morning to the end of all the arrangements, the sky was almost completely dark, Xiao Jing arranged for someone to arrange a place for the people who stayed in Ziyun Mountain to live first, because it was late, Xiao Jing planned to let them see the master again tomorrow.
But just when everyone was about to disperse, Liu Bozhong suddenly walked out of the apse, and he didn't show up during the whole day, in fact, he was deliberately letting Xiao Jing arrange everything, and Xiao Jing would be restrained in his own presence.
"Master. Seeing Liu Bozhong coming, Xiao Jing respectfully bowed.
Seeing this, the others also saluted, and Liu Bozhong waved his hand to everyone, and then said to Xiao Jing: "I have worked hard for you today, these people you have chosen are very good, stay all, I will no longer screen, as for the follow-up things, you bring them to the hall tomorrow, and I will arrange it then." ”
Originally, everyone who was still a little worried about whether they would be able to stay, when they heard Liu Bozhong say this, they all became excited, and knelt on the ground almost at the same time, and then said to Liu Bozhong in unison: "Disciple to meet Master." ”
Seeing this, Liu Bozhong finally showed a long-lost smile, and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone get up, we will all be a family in the future, and we don't need so many courtesies." ”
Xiao Jing also relaxed a lot when he saw that the master finally smiled, this situation made Xiao Jing seem to have returned to many years ago, all the teachers and brothers surrounded the master every day, and the master was also full of spirit every day, it seems that his proposal to recruit disciples is really right.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Just when everyone was familiar with Liu Bozhong, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, coming from far and near from the bottom of the mountain, and everyone couldn't help but look at the bottom of the mountain.
With another rapid gasp, and then a chubby figure appeared in front of everyone, and when the man saw so many people all looking at him, he scratched his head a little embarrassed and gasped and said, "I... Am I late?"
