Main Chapter 2: Sorting House
Three days later, the morning bell rang, all the freshmen went to the martial arts field, Zeyun and Shangguan Qing also went out early, the martial arts field was large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, and there were four unicorn statues carved around. Directly on the high platform are 18 chairs made of jade.
"Zeyun, look at that chair, from top to bottom, one, two, six, nine, I have long heard that the Lingshan Sect has been in retreat for many years, and everything in the mountain is in charge of the deputy head of the sect, Zhimin, it seems that he will not be present today, the six in the third row seem to be the six deans, and it seems that the nine are the ones below."
"What?"
"Nine oracles."
"Huh? Oracle? ”
"Yes, we have a total of nine divine envoys in Lingshan, the nine divine envoys have their own strengths, Mengli, Qi Jing two divine envoys are good at refining medicine, Yehua, Muni divine envoy is good at refining, Wuxiang divine envoy is good at reasoning about the destiny of heaven, Huaixing, Jiting divine envoy is good at studying mental methods, Bo Xi divine envoy is good at the art of war and martial arts, the one who wore purple clothes at the mountain gate that day was Yinye divine envoy. He.... Well.. It is rumored that anything will be done. But no one has ever seen him perform a trick and a half. ”
"It's not going to be a jerk."
“..........”
It's time, in addition to the people who should come on the main seat, some senior brothers and sisters have also come to join in the fun. Maybe the practice is too boring, and they also want to get some red dust from the world. Suddenly, the sky shone with a golden light, and it became more and more intense. The air pressure around him rose sharply, and all the people in the martial arts cultivation field were red-faced and tried to breathe. The other people who have cultivated the magic are fine, but pity these newcomers, their hearts are a little bad, and they are probably not good. Then on the main seat of the high platform, those heavyweights appeared. Strangely, the nine emissaries all looked too young, in their twenties at most. Shangguan Qing seemed to see Zeyun's doubts.
"The gods do not exist in the ninefold heavens, they live at least in the first threefold, and the divine messengers are the messengers sent by the gods to the lower levels, responsible for conveying the will of the gods and also responsible for going to the human world to select talents for the gods. They belong to demigods, they have a lifespan that can be about the same as that of gods, and their faces are not old, you don't look at them so young, to say the least, they must be over a thousand years old. Of course, those who are on top of the throne are at least old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. ”
Zeyun thought about it and nodded, this endless river of life, if you have seen everything in the world, what is it like to live again.
"All of you are outstanding talents from all over the world, first of all, welcome to my spiritual mountain to practice. Furthermore, I want to say that Lingshan has adhered to the precepts of the Protoss since ancient times, and has done so to eliminate demons and cut evil. And you, as the new strength of my spiritual mountain, must be remembered even more. ”
"Qing, what is a demon?"
"Zeyun, you are really a root white radish, I am really curious about how you grew up, it is said that thousands of years ago, the Emperor of the People was born to establish the human world, and then a dark force broke into this world and occupied the entire wilderness. That is the demon, it is said that the demon emperor has a strong mana, and the new patriarch of the god clan and the demon clan fought with him one after another, and there was no winner or loser. It is estimated that its strength is not much different from those two. They are in trouble everywhere, practicing evil arts, and doing all kinds of evil, which is really evil. ”
"Why don't the Three Realms join forces to clear it?"
"Not to mention the huge power of the demon race, in the past few thousand years, the ancestors of the god race and the demon race have all passed away, and there is not much power left, otherwise how can they select talents in the human world to replenish it, and besides, the gods and demons, although they are very harmonious on the surface, they are wary of each other behind the scenes. If one side preserves its strength at that time, the other side is in danger of extinction. ”
The priest who took the lead above was still talking, Zeyun was already a little sleepy, rubbed her temples, and suddenly felt a beam of inquiring eyes fall on her, she looked up at the high platform, and met Yin Ye's gaze. The other party propped his head on his elbows, looking at Zeyun with a smile, his posture and demeanor were like a hooligan.
"Okay, that's all for the above, and someone will tell you the rest in detail after the Sorting House. Now, the branch ceremony has officially begun, and after a while, the deans will release the spirit worms representing their respective courtyards, and they will choose suitable people to enter the courtyard according to everyone's root bone situation. ”
After speaking, the six deans stood up, opened the brocade box in their hands, and the spirit insects of six colors flew out and rushed towards the new students. The first thing that flew in front of Zeyun was a red spirit worm, which circled twice and flew away. The blue, yellow, green, and purple spirit insects that came later were all like this, and the last white spirit insect flew in front of him, sniffed, and flew for a long time, and then turned left and right, as if he was a little entangled. In the end, he flew away hesitantly.
After half an hour, all the spirit insects except Zeyun had selected new students, and Shangguan Qing was sitting with a purple spirit insect in his hand, looking at Zeyun carefully. The deans were a little surprised to see that there was a superfluous spirit worm that flew back.
"Who hasn't been chosen by the Spirit Worm yet?" The priest was also a little puzzled? After all, nothing like this has ever happened. The martial arts cultivation field was instantly silent, and everyone looked around, wondering who this unlucky guy was. Zeyun sighed and raised his hand. Shangguan Qing was a little worried, for fear that Zeyun would be driven out of Lingshan. The scene was very embarrassing for a while, everyone on the high platform was studying each other, Zeyun was a little out of breath, and there was still a little pressure on him with so many eyes.
"Heh, look at what she is wearing, have you ever heard of this person's name, shouldn't she be a bastard, little sister, go home, this Lingshan is not a place to play at home."
I don't know who said it, and then the crowd began to laugh. The harmony should come and go.
"What's so funny, who said that if you are not selected by the spirit worm, you are not qualified to practice, you are like this, you are really not afraid of losing your identity."
Shangguan Qing couldn't help it, stood up and said a few words, maybe these people really love face, and they coughed a few times and didn't speak. Zeyun looked at Shangguan Qing, and his heart was a little warm, like warm water.
"Do you remember which oracle chose you?"
Zeyun was just about to say that he didn't remember, judging from the situation at the time, the night was too dark, and the drunkard didn't face her, but just said that he would come to Lingshan to find me and leave.
"It's me"
Yin Ye, who was dressed in purple, stood up, holding a folding fan behind his back with one hand and the other hand. Those memory fragments were finally put together, at that time, the assassin's knife was very close, she never blinked, staring at the glowing knife edge, there was no change of emotion in her eyes, suddenly flew over a wine jug, the assassin fell to the ground, there was an extra person in front of him, the night was too dark, only his silhouette could be seen, the person did not look back, waved his hand, said let her go to Lingshan to find him, and then staggered away, with a purple folding fan pinned to his waist, it turned out to be him.
"I don't know what the oracle means?"
The deputy head of the teaching industry asked, and there was a sense of respect in his tone.
"This girl is kind of interesting."
Yin Ye stared at Zeyun and said lightly.
"Sect Leader, since this remaining spirit worm belongs to my Xifeng Academy, the old man is also a little interested in this girl, so it is better to let her enter our courtyard."
Said a gray, unkempt old man.
"Well, since it was chosen by God, it is this opportunity, Li Lao, you bothered."
"Thank you."
Li Lao bowed slightly to the two masters, and then reached out and flicked the white spirit insect into Zeyun's palm. Lan Zeyun looked at the spirit worm in his hand, and then at Yin Ye and Li Lao on the high platform, puzzled, and then saw Yin Ye smiling and lip syncing, "Don't thank me." ”
"Okay, that's it for today's branch ceremony, and everyone can go to their respective hospitals to register in the future. I hope you will remember that from now on, you will carry the honor of your academy, the honor of the entire Lingshan, and the honor of the entire Protoss. ”
On the way back to Yunting Pavilion to pack his luggage, Zeyun was still a little confused, the spirit worm in his hand seemed to be stunned, fainted, and stood up in the palm of his hand. Shangguan Qing was very happy.
"You scared me to death, today I finally saw that Yin Ye was reliable, and that Li Lao, I have long heard that the old man has a very strange temper, and there are less than fifty disciples recruited each time, and the people of Xifeng Academy are also very strange, such a big thing today, the senior brothers and sisters of other courtyards have come, but none of the uniforms of Xifeng Academy have been seen. Counting, after so many sessions, except for those who are cultivating outside, the current number of people in Xifeng Academy does not add up to more than three hundred. ”
"Maybe this Li Lao is a quiet person, he doesn't like too many people, it's very noisy, by the way, Qing, where are you?"
"I'm in Beisi Courtyard, it's still quite far from your side, I thought I could be separated, but now I'm going to be separated."
Zeyun's heart was a little sullen again, could it be that this dress has shrunk again today, and it is tight.
"Qing, can I see you again?"
Zeyun rarely took the initiative to grab Shangguan Qing's arm, and the force was a little too strong, which made Shangguan Qing a little at a loss. Her eyes were still empty, but there seemed to be a flickering change in the emptiness.
"Of course you can, you wait, I'll sneak over to you as soon as I have time, and after a while, when I have cultivated spiritual power, I will be able to come over soon, and you have to cultivate well, so that you can come to me when you want me."
"Okay."
The two chatted in Yunqing Pavilion for a while, and then packed up their things and said goodbye. I heard the priest say that Xifeng Courtyard is in the westernmost part of Lingshan, where the spiritual power is not abundant, and the scenery is not very beautiful, but it seems to be in the deep mountains and old forests, the founder of Xifeng Courtyard is a freak, pick such a place.
Because it is a freshman who has just been admitted to the hospital, each hospital will send some people to pick it up, and if you walk over at the speed of a person, it is easy to say that you have to walk without rest for ten days and half a month. Zeyun walked to the place where Xifeng Courtyard was picked up by the main courtyard, and chose a place with few people to sit down. She is not good at communication, especially when she doesn't know the details of the other party, it's better not to get into trouble, a few hours have passed, and the sky is gradually getting dark, and the people in the other courtyards have been taken away by the divine birds in the courtyard, and in the end, there are only about fifty people left in their courtyard. It's time, the sky finally moved, only a divine bird came, and there was a young man in green clothes with clear eyebrows standing at the head of the bird, which senior brother was it.
The divine bird did not fly down, only hovered a few hundred meters above the ground, and then Senior Brother Tsing Yi waved with one hand, dozens of scrolls were sprinkled, Zeyun caught one and opened it, it was actually a map to Xifeng Courtyard. Senior Brother Tsing Yi looked at everyone and only said, "Go over by yourself." He left with the sacred bird, leaving a group of overwhelmed freshmen angrily scolding their mothers.
"Don't be discouraged, this may be the dean's test for us, you are all outstanding talents from all over the world, this little thing can't be overcome, how can you be qualified to enter the academic law of Xifeng Academy. It's better for everyone to make a slight adjustment, let's look for the map together, and you can also see the beautiful scenery of our Lingshan on the way, isn't it better. ”
There was finally a voice in the crowd, which stabilized everyone's minds and calmed the emotions of the whole team, Ze Yun looked for the source of the voice, the young man was magnificent, and he revealed detachment between his conversations, and he could quickly grasp the key to the problem and solve the problem quickly, and the innate leadership ability was impressive. Although he is young and has not yet grown, his glass-like eyes are extremely beautiful, and his achievements in the future will be extraordinary.
Everyone thought it made sense, so they opened the map and studied the route. Half an hour later, the whole team began to set off towards the place of Xifeng Temple. This walk is nearly half a month, and the beautiful scenery and wonders along the way are really interesting. Finally, I entered the Xifeng Valley and found that the valley was full of towering trees, a piece of green into the eyes, through the forest and a large bamboo garden, but did not see any colorful flowers, after going forward for about half an hour, I finally saw the courtyard, located in the middle of the mountain next to the waterfall, as if mosaic into the general, along the mountain road all the way up, and then there is a long staircase that cannot see the end.
In the end, everyone climbed the stairs and saw the plaque of Xifeng Temple, all of them seemed to be wasted, and they were weak. There was a sleeping senior brother at the gate of the courtyard, with Erlang's legs crossed, on the registration table, his face covered with a book, his hands supporting his head from behind, and the exhaled breath blew the pages of the book up and down, and several disciples who couldn't wait tried their best to support themselves and ran to the table, shouting a few senior brothers, the senior brother seemed to be frightened, and with the shaking, the book that originally covered his face fell to the ground, and the whole senior brother almost fell down. Frowning a little impatiently.
"Shout ,,, what to shout! It's not like I can't hear it, tsk. You're coming too slowly, I'm asleep waiting, so register your number here and go in with the courtyard card. After the senior brother finished speaking, he picked up the book on the ground, shook it, covered his face and continued to sleep. After registering, Zeyun took a small, quaint black jade token, looked at the plaque, and walked in. It's just a different place to live.
