"What are you talking about? In this year's Donglan Sword Sect's 'Nine Peaks Destiny' ceremony, we are actually in the same group as that Lingyun Sect?"

"The number of new disciples recruited by Lingyun Sect this year is two hundred and thirty-six?

"Then what about our Quanying Sect? What! There are only six new disciples, just a mantissa of others! Damn, this joke is a big joke!"

Exclamations of surprise resounded above the ninth low peak.

In front of this courtyard of blue bricks and green tiles, there were more than a dozen young disciples in military costumes, sitting on the open grass and discussing.

Sometimes they listened intently, sometimes they exclaimed, and the atmosphere was obviously extremely enthusiastic.

A gray-clothed disciple with a shocked expression seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked again, "Little Cinnabar, did you really peek at the main peak handbook?" Are you sure you didn't fool us?"

In the middle of the crowd, there was a young man in Tsing Yi, holding a huge broom in his arms, with a leisurely expression, and his thick eyebrows were raised from time to time, with a little uninhibited.

On his right wrist, he was wearing a small red bracelet, this person was not someone else, it was the young man who was on the messenger stone before, and received the book of "Barge the Wind and Green Bird".

When he saw the gray-clothed young man questioning himself, he immediately turned his face blank and said coldly: "The joke is nothing more than a handbook, and it is not the holy decree of the emperor Lao'er, so what's the harm in seeing it! This is also worth coaxing?"

The gray-clothed disciple's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "In this way, the news should be true!"

Cinnabar raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This is what I have seen with my own eyes, how can it be fake? It is clearly written in the handbook: Three days later, it will be the day when all the outer gates will hold the 'Nine Peaks Confession' ceremony. And this year's grouping rules have also been changed to be determined by lottery, and we will be drawn in a group with Lingyunmen this year. ”

After hearing Cinnabar's words, the disciples looked a lot darker, and the atmosphere was a little frozen for a while.

They are all outer disciples under the Donglan Sword Sect, and they are naturally no strangers to the sect's annual "Nine Peaks Confession" ceremony.

The so-called Nine Peaks are the nine outer sects divided by the outer peaks in addition to the Inner Gate of the Donglan Sword Sect's Main Peak, "Lan Pavilion".

They are: Qiuluo Fengmen, Lingyun Gate, Sanyang Sect, Qingyu Gate, Lazy Dragon Gate, Xiangxiu Gate, Xinglintang, Lugongmen, and Quanying Gate.

The Quanying Sect where Cinnabar and the others are located is the only pure martial cultivation sect among the nine outer sects, and it is also the undisputed bottom sect.

Mo said that it was the outer gate of the other six sword cultivators, and even the Xinglin Hall of medicinal cultivation and the Lu Gongmen of instrument cultivation were difficult to compare.

And this "fate" ceremony is that after the new disciples are recruited by the outer gates, through the identification of the life tablets, you can directly confirm the innate natal attributes and their levels in the bodies of all the newly admitted disciples of the outer gates.

Once a new disciple has completed the appraisal of their qualifications, they will officially become "apprentices of cultivation," and then each sect will conduct cultivation and cultivation as appropriate according to their own type and purity of their qualifications.

Due to the good or bad situation of the new disciples' lives, which is related to the future development of the sect, this "Nine Peaks Confession" ceremony, although far less grand than the "Ten Summit Martial Arts" jointly held every three years together with the inner gate, is also one of the most important events of the Donglan Sword Sect every year.

The reason why this Quanying Sect disciple is difficult to accept is that in addition to the fact that Lingyunmen is far stronger than this sect in terms of strength, it also has a great relationship with Lingyunmen itself.

Lingyun Gate ranks second among the outer gates, and its strength is no less than that of Qiuluo Fengmen, which ranks first.

And they have always behaved arrogantly from top to bottom, especially Cheng Tong, the head of Lingyun Gate, who is even more famous.

Quan Yingmen has always been at the bottom of the Nine Peaks, and he was separated from them for the fate appraisal ceremony, and the outcome was obvious!

At that time, the other party will be sneering and sneering, and if it is fully suppressed by the other party, it will be difficult to end.

Therefore, the result of this draw will naturally not be good news for Quan Yingmen.

After a while, a disciple said a little sadly: "It's okay that the strength of the sect is very different, I prefer to die or not, and I have to get together to carry out the life appraisal ceremony, now I am afraid that I will be embarrassed and thrown to my grandmother's house!"

An older disciple smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because the Identification Destiny Monument is too precious, but the Nine Outer Sects can only share five. And the main peak also requires all the outer sects to complete the fortune ceremony on the same day, which caused the situation that these two sects were held together!"

The gray-clothed disciple from before also sighed: "Having said that, in the final analysis, we only blame our sect for being too weak, but we can't blame others. ”

"In the future, the scene of six people living against more than 200 people is also extremely sour to think about......," he said a little helplessly: "I didn't expect the sect to be weak, and it would be so embarrassing!"

Seeing that everyone was frustrated, Cinnabar couldn't help but lower his voice, and said mysteriously: "It's not just that you can't accept it, even after our Feng Xiaotian head finished reading the book of the main peak, he sat back on the chair directly, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word, and the atmosphere that froze in an instant was really terrifying!"

His voice fell, and his presence caused a silence again.

These Quanying Sect disciples, knowing that this Feng Xiaotian head is the most stable, can cause such a big reaction from him, which is also extremely rare.

After a while, someone slowly said: "It's no wonder, anyone who hears such a huge disparity can't help but be surprised, especially the situation of our Quanying Sect recruiting new disciples this year is bleak, and it is normal for the head of the sect to have such a stunned reaction!"

Just when this group of disciples was talking about it, you said a word, and I said a word.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded:

"Little cinnabar, as the only miscellaneous servant under Quanying's family, you don't serve tea and water, do laundry and cleaning, and do your own job, how dare you chew your tongue here?"

The voice teased: "Is the gossip heart immortal, or is it lazy to run here?"

Everyone looked back at the voice, and they were all surprised.

It turned out that at some point, behind them, like an iron tower, stood proudly a swarthy and strong young man, with a straight face and a cold expression.

All the disciples turned cold, bowed to the young man in front of them, and said in unison: "Hello senior brother!"

It turned out that this dark-skinned sturdy young man, his name was Tie Qiang, and he was also the oldest and highest cultivation disciple in the Quanying Sect.

Cinnabar saw that it was the elder brother of iron gall who came, but he was not too afraid, he knew that this senior brother was cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and he liked to joke with himself, so he smiled and said at the moment:

"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, my cinnabar has always been hard-working, when did you avoid being lazy?

The senior brother was brave, he deliberately teased him, but when he saw his half-true look, he couldn't help but drum a little in his heart.

He also knows Cinnabar's personality very well, and knows that although this guy is nominally a handyman in the door, he actually has a very special identity, and he is an orphan who was picked up by Feng Xiaotian.

It is also for this reason that some of his outrageous behaviors can be regarded as extremely indulgent and protective.

As a result, his personality is even more eccentric and mischievous, if he is really "serious" by him, he is afraid that he will catch some snakes, insects, rats and ants, and secretly put them in his mattress, making himself miserable.

At that moment, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and said: "These trivial things, I won't worry about you, Cinnabar, listen well, I was actually ordered by the head of the house to call you over." ”

"The order of the master?" Cinnabar was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "I'm just a handyman, what can I do?"

The gray-clothed young man behind him let out a "flutter" smile and teased: "What else can I do if I look for you, naturally go clean up, or serve tea and pour water, is it not possible to invite you to a banquet?"

Cinnabar glanced at him angrily, then turned around and said to the iron gallant senior brother: "Senior brother, what is the reason?

Tie Dan frowned slightly, and said: "I don't know the specifics of this, the head just ordered me to come and call you, and tell you to report to the council hall immediately, and didn't say anything else." ”

Cinnabar frowned and thought about it repeatedly, but even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why this Feng Xiaotian head sent someone to call him.

If it is an ordinary trivial matter, he has already completed it in advance when he sent it to the main peak to pass the book before, not to mention that if it is just for these small things, there is no need to let Senior Brother Tie Gu personally shout!

When he saw it, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to stiffen his head, and Qi Qiran rushed towards the meeting hall inside the door with the iron gallant elder brother.

At this moment, there were already three people waiting in the Quanyingmen meeting hall.

In the middle of the main hall, on a platform of about half a zhang, a triangular copper tripod is placed, and there is a row of wooden seats on each side.

And go up the three-level stone steps in the middle, surrounded by four carved giant pillars in the deep room, and in front of a huge screen, is the main seat of this meeting hall.

Among them, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, and a sturdy man with a dark complexion, both sat on the chairs on either side, their faces melancholy, and they were silent.

And directly in front of the main seat, a tall, resolute middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back, was pacing back and forth.

Seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was melancholy, as if he was bored,

The three people in front of him, Cinnabar naturally knew all of them.

The two people sitting on the chair at the other end, one named Huang Geng and the other Cui Sheng, are the only two remaining sect elders in the Quanying Sect.

And in front of the main seat, this majestic man in a strong suit pacing back and forth is none other than the head of Quan Ying: Feng Xiaotian.
