Chapter 19: The First Choice
The general's order was heavy, the whole body was dark, and Yuan Qiong was playing with it, and he didn't see anything special.
"Mom, this is the legendary general order who can worship any sect?"
"So you know, so I don't need to introduce it too much. You take this general order to join the ten major sects, as long as you become a disciple of the sect, you don't have to worry about the five major families taking action against you.
Remember, don't have the idea of avenging us, don't you hear?" Xuan Ruyi said with a serious expression.
"Why?" Yuan Qiong was indignant, could he just let those people go!
Yuan Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder: "The Xuan family and the Yuan family are always the family for me and your mother, even if they are unkind, we can't be unjust."
And why do you think we can live in peace in Cangshan Township? It's not because there are people in the Yuan family and the Xuan family who are secretly protecting us.
With the abilities of the five major families, it is not difficult to discover our hiding place, I don't want you to turn against the entire Yuan family and the Xuan family in the future, and I don't want us to make you bear an undeserved burden because of us. ”
Yuan Qiong's expression was complicated, if he followed what his parents said, in fact, the Yuan family and some relatives and friends of the Yuan family were concerned about their family. The parents still hope that one day they can reconcile with their family and even return to the family.
sighed, home, no matter what world it is, is very important to people, even if they have hurt or betrayed themselves, they can't just give it up.
Yuan Qiong promised: "Okay, I promise you, as long as they don't provoke, I will try not to trouble them!"
Xuan Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that her son was bent on revenge, not to mention that she didn't want to have a complete fight with her own family, even if it was for safety reasons, she didn't want her son to take risks.
The five major families are all over the Seven Qin Empire, and every industry has its figure, not only are there many people, but the power is even more monstrous, and the people who are enemies of them have never lived long.
Yuan Zhiyuan pinched the trick and tried to activate the general's order, the general's order flashed a faint light, shook slightly, and lurked, but soon fell to the ground, and the light dissipated.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work...... Yuan Zhiyuan said abruptly.
Xuan Ruyi held his hand and said with a sad face: "Xianggong, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be ......."
"Ruyi, it's not your fault, it's worth paying for you! It's just hateful to ...... back then" Yuan Zhiyuan stopped halfway through speaking: "Forget it, it's already over, don't think about it anymore." ”
Yuan Qiong frowned slightly, and asked, "Dad, what happened back then? Who was injured and has not yet healed?" Dad, why didn't you tell me?"
"Stinky boy, what are you yelling about! It's all in the past, you have to ask what the hell are you doing!" Yuan Zhi said far away.
Xuan Ruyi hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, Qiong'er, don't ask." Now with this general order, as long as you can worship the ten major sects, it is the best filial piety for us.
As for the old past, let them go, you just promised us not to seek revenge from the five major families. Your dad and I are just a kid like you, you can't have an accident!"
Yuan Qiong still wanted to ask, but seeing the concerned expressions of his parents, he still didn't say it in the end.
It seems that the person who hurt my father must have been very strong, so strong that my parents felt that there was no hope of revenge, so they did not tell me what happened back then, for fear that I would die impulsively when I was young.
Yuan Qiong clenched his fists, and secretly wrote down this matter in his heart, and he must avenge his parents if he has the opportunity in the future!
The Yuan family and the Xuan family can be let go, but the people who planned and hunted down their parents back then must find them!
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yuan Qiong's eyes, and it was soon fleeting, and in order to appease his parents, he brought the topic back to the general's order.
Xuan Ruyi pinched out the magic trick, his index finger and middle finger were stretched together, and his fingertips glowed with white light, pointing at the general's order. The latter shone brightly, lurking, and suspended in front of Yuan Qiong's body.
"As long as the true qi is injected into it, the general order can be activated, it is not only a certificate to worship the sect, but also a magic weapon, although it is only a bronze-level spiritual weapon. ”
"Bronze-level spirit weapon? What is that? Mom, what realm is above the refining body?" asked Yuan Qiong puzzled.
From the moment he saw Feng Xiaoxiao, Yuan Qiong began to wonder what was on top of the refining body, and longed to be able to use mysterious spells.
But no one has been able to solve his doubts, and he once asked Crazy Mountain to ask, but he smiled mysteriously: "You are still too weak, it is useless to know this, waste your tongue, and wait until you reach the tenth level of refining your body." ”
Xuan Ruyi naturally did not explain in detail like the Wild Mountain: "The bronze-level spirit weapon is a weapon used by the monks in the foundation building period, sharpening iron like clay, and its lethality is amazing. As for the foundation building above the refining body, and then the Yuan Infant Stage, these are too far away from you, and when you reach a certain level, these things will naturally be known.
The empire set up martial arts halls throughout the country to train martial artists, and its main purpose was to cultivate cultivators.
Ordinary people believe that the body refining period is the whole of cultivation, and the strong person who refines the body ten times is the peerless powerhouse of the world. He also refers to the cultivators in the refining period as 'martial artists', and the true qi as 'internal force'.
These are all some wrong perceptions, and when you go out of Cangshan Township and go to a more prosperous county town, you will find that in fact, the refining period is just the most basic realm in cultivation.
The road to cultivation is long, and it is rumored that the powerful cultivator has lived for hundreds of years, has the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and one person can destroy the country, and is worshiped and admired by countless people.
Therefore, Qiong'er, you must work hard to cultivate, don't be bound by hatred, and don't be ambitious, you must cultivate in a down-to-earth manner.
And no matter what, you must not cultivate the Demon Dao Exercises, otherwise there will be no place for you in the entire heaven and earth!"
"Does the fairy world really exist?"
Xuan Ruyi shook his head: "I don't know, your father only reached the opening period back then, and I think only your grandfather and your grandfather know about this." ”
Yuan Zhiyuan interjected: "Don't ask, those two old-fashioned old men don't know." Son, if you want to know, go to the Ten Great Sects, where there are the answers you want.
Legend has it that the founders of the ten major sects have all risen to become immortals, and they have left an immortal inheritance in the sect. ”
"But how do I get there?"
To be able to have an immortal inheritance, the sect must be hidden in the land of the hermit on the top of the clouds, and Yuan Qiong felt that it must be very difficult to find the sect.
But to his surprise, Yuan Zhiyuan said: "Stupid, go to the Martial Academy!" Although the ten major sects are mysterious, even the imperial family knows very little, but they are inevitably vulgar.
For the development of the sect, the sect will recruit a large number of disciples every year. The reason why the empire set up martial arts halls throughout the country was to select students who could cultivate the truth for the sect.
The students of the martial arts hall pass the annual assessment and enter the martial arts academy, and the ten major sects will recruit the students they like in the martial arts academy.
If your qualifications are mediocre, it doesn't matter, a cultivation competition will be held every five years, and the first 10,000 can be worshiped into the sect. ”
Yuan Qiong was puzzled: "10,000 people, admitting so many people, there must be no difficulty in the cultivation competition."
By the way, isn't the empire afraid of the sect rebelling and establishing itself as the king?"
Although I don't know how strong the strength of the sect is, no matter how weak the power of the immortals is, it can't be weak, not to mention that there are as many as ten.
Yuan Zhiyuan struck: "Simple, you don't know how many people participated. Every year, five million people across the country sign up, and last year I heard that it exceeded six million, but no matter how much the number of applicants increases, the top ten sects only accept the top 10,000 students. ”
He went on to say, "There is an unwritten rule among cultivators, and they must not touch the worldly imperial power, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. That is, the so-called Heavenly Dao Law, those who violate the true path will be punished by the Heavenly Tribulation, and their souls will be scattered, and there will be no afterlife.
Therefore, the imperial family also entrusted the ten major sects with important tasks, and the empire gave the ten major sects a transcendent status to help the ten major sects select talents. In contrast, the ten major sects also have to help the empire deal with all special events, such as demon beast attacks, demonic disasters, natural disasters, etc.
Of course, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and even if cultivators can't be called emperors, there are many ways to control the empire. For example, to set up the imperial power, control the empire behind the scenes, or use spells to directly control the emperor.
The emperor was unwilling to let the sect dominate, and when he formed an alliance with the sect, he also supported the five major families, in order to resist the power of the sect and ensure a three-legged situation.
This situation of mutual containment has lasted for more than 800 years, from the founding of the first emperor, the submission of the ten major sects and the subordination agreement of the royal family, and the support of the five major families, which has continued to this day.
Qiong'er, the middle of June next year will be the day of the five-year Xiuzhen Competition, when you only need to take the general's order to the examiner of the sect, they will unconditionally accept you as a disciple and directly admit you exceptionally. ”
Xuan Ruyi nodded: "I discussed it with your father, and decided to let Chuyue accompany you to the imperial capital next year."
Your father and I won't go with you, lest your identity be discovered by some of the five families. ”
Yuan Zhiyuan took out a white python skin package from behind him, which was the heavenly treasure picked by Yuan Qiong and threw it to the other party.
"I didn't expect you to be able to collect so many precious herbs by yourself, these can at least allow you to break through to the eightfold refining body, you can cultivate at home with peace of mind these days, I will ask for leave for you in the martial arts hall and private school, don't worry." ”
"I guess this is the little dog next to you who helped you. Xuan Ruyi opened the package: "The herbs are too rude to preserve, and they have begun to lose their effectiveness, so I will find you something to keep later."
But I want to warn you, Qiong'er, you have to be careful of anyone when you go out, they are often kind on the surface but dark in heart. That puppy who can only speak human must be a monster, and you have to pay attention to whether the other party is sincere to you. Demon beasts are the most capricious, and shemales have different paths, remember. ”
Yuan Qiongguaner, it seems that his parents regard the wild mountain as a demon beast. He doesn't break it, first, it's not necessary, and second, he doesn't want his parents to worry too much about him.
Yuan Zhiyuan put away the brocade box and the general's order: "I'll keep the things first, and I'll give them to you when you set off." Of course, if you don't want to go to the top ten sects, we won't force it. I'll sell this general order and buy you and Yue'er a new house, or move to a larger county town. ”
Yuan Qiong hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the Ten Great Sects! Living in this life should be a chic walk in the world, not to mention that there is such an interesting thing as cultivating the truth, how can I not go!"
