Chapter 123: The Initiation Ceremony

"I've got it with me. Luo Zishu took out the ancient book from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Feng.

Taking the book from Luozishu's hand, Lin Feng first looked at it. The book is made of an unknown golden yellow silk cloth that is soft and silky to the touch, bound with gold thread, and has no text on the cover.

Turning the book, the words recorded in it are no different from this world, and after a casual glance, Lin Feng found that this book is actually just telling a person's story, and there is no table of contents, and the beginning tells when and where this person was born, which is not like a fabricated story, but like an autobiography.

"Two immortals, Longhai Square has arrived. Lin Feng was about to take a closer look at the book when the carriage had stopped.

Not in a hurry, Lin Feng closed the book, "Zishu, it's good to lend me a look at this book." ”

"Since the eldest brother is interested, I will give it to the eldest brother, anyway, I have seen it. "It doesn't matter if Lhotse is book, it's not of much use to him.

Lin Feng put the book into the ring and followed Luo Zishu out of the carriage.

Longhai Square has long been crowded with people, in addition to the real to participate in the entrance ceremony, there are many others to visit, the square area is very large, all of them are paved with white bricks, in the middle of the square, is a huge pool.

Around the pool stands four copper pillars with a radius of more than one meter, the copper pillars are also tied with thigh-thick iron chains, and the other end of the iron chain is tied to a giant dragon stone sculpture in the center of the pool.

"It is said that Nanling used to be an ocean, and this dragon is the lord of this ocean, and then the ocean receded, showing the land, human beings inhabited it, and suffered from the cruelty of this evil dragon, and some human monks could not stand it, so they punished this evil dragon and turned it into a stone sculpture, and suppressed this side. Luo Zishu stood beside Lin Feng, and he had these allusions at his fingertips.

Lin Feng shook his head, history is always written by the victors, human beings are the victorious side, history naturally falls to the side of human beings, as for the truth, it doesn't really matter.

More and more people gathered in the square, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion also arrived, standing around the square to maintain the security of the scene, and the crowd gathered in twos and threes to talk, although they deliberately lowered their voices, but the whole square was still noisy.

"Lin Feng?"

Hearing someone call him, Lin Feng turned his head and looked, it turned out to be Lin Ping and Jiang Xing.

Several people came together and exchanged pleasantries, although Luo Zishu was not familiar with the two, they also knew each other's identities, but Lin Feng's introduction was omitted.

"It's going to be released soon, why don't we go over there and have a look?" Lin Ping said while forgetting about the crowd gathering.

"What, you're still afraid that your name won't be on the list?" Lin Feng quipped.

Lin Ping smiled, "I'm afraid that my name will be on the list." ”

"Why is this?" Lin Feng was a little puzzled.

Luo Zishu explained for him: "Big brother doesn't know, the list of previous apprenticeship ceremonies only takes the top 100 to 11, and the top ten seats will be announced to the world at the entrance ceremony. ”

"I see. ”

Although Lin Feng and Lin Ping's names will not be on the list, Luo Zishu and Jiang Xing are not in the top ten, so they still have to take a look.

A few people walked to the gathering place of the crowd, and there were several guards of the City Lord's Mansion standing in front of them, and in the center of the guards, there was a table covered with red cloth, and I don't know what it was under the red cloth protrusion.

After waiting for a moment, a man in official uniform walked to the table, and with the appearance of this person, the noisy crowd became quiet.

"Senior Sister Xuan's password, immediately unveil the list to show the world. As the words fell, he uncovered the red cloth on the table, and Hao Ran was covered with a jade-shaped stone under the red cloth, and as his hand fell, the stone emitted a burst of white light, and then, in the sky above the stone, a line of golden characters was revealed.

"One hundred: Shi Fenghua. ”

The big word lasted for about ten seconds before slowly disappearing, followed by the next one.

Most of the names of the top 100 seats Lin Feng still have images, basically they are all people who have participated in the lotus appreciation party and the lantern festival, but Yang Haochu's ranking made him a little surprised, Yang Haochu is actually in more than seventy, it seems that he has contributed a lot of tokens for Li Yanwu to win the top three.

There is also a Lin Feng who is more concerned about Bi Gong and Bi Jing, Lin Ping and himself occupy the first three or two seats, and the remaining position is either Li Yanwu or one of the two brothers.

"Sixty-two, Bi Jing. ”

Bi Jing's ranking is not high, and he should have given most of the tokens like Yang Haochu.

Luozishu and Jiang Xing also stared at the big golden characters in the air, for fear of missing their names, Lin Feng handed over sixteen tokens for Luozishu, while Jiang Xing originally had more than a dozen tokens, and later Lin Ping gave him two more, and the number of his tokens was about the same as Luozishu.

The two of them are not worried that their ranking is not in the top 100, what they are worried about is that they have not entered the top 50, you know, the top 50 can choose a exercise, they are about to enter the Jindan period, it is the time of lack of exercises, not everyone is like Lin Feng, relying on a copy of "Dao" can always practice.

Fortunately, the result did not disappoint the two, Luo Zishu was twenty-three, and Jiang Xing was slightly inferior, twenty-five.

The two of them are about the same, and they are both in the top 50, which is enough.

At the end of the list, I only heard the man in the official uniform say loudly: "The entrance ceremony is about to begin, the contestants stay here and wait, and the others follow the arrangement of the soldiers and watch the ceremony in the corresponding place." ”

There were more than 1,000 people who passed through the ceremony, and after excluding those who came to watch the ceremony, the center of the square seemed a little empty, and then someone came to check their tokens one by one, and after making sure that they were passers, they asked them to stand under the stone carving of the dragon statue in the middle and wait.

After a while, the crowd of onlookers sent out a wave, Lin Feng followed the prestige, and Yang Zixin arrived.

She wore a veil, still beautiful, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, and on either side of her were two officials in official uniforms, both holding a brocade box in their hands.

There was no great pomp, only the sound of the crowd showed her fame, and she walked in front of everyone, still with that dignified appearance, and did not speak.

After a few more minutes, the crowd on the periphery parted ways, and saw that the carriage in front was pulled by three sweaty horses, and on both sides of the back carriage, there were two carriages, both drawn by sweaty horses. At the back of the carriage, a group of people in official uniforms lined up in two neat columns.

The group approached and stopped, and the people behind the carriage stood on either side of their monks, surrounding them in the middle, and then Liang Long and Du Chengrui walked down, they were divided into a carriage drawn by sweat and blood, and when they got out of the carriage, they saw him bowing to the carriage in front of him.

Under the gaze of everyone, the city lord of Longhai City stepped down from the carriage, and Liang Long and Du Chengrui walked to both sides of the city lord and stood where they took a step back.

The city lord walked in front of Yang Zixin, and Liang Long and Du Chengrui followed suit.

The city lord first saluted Yang Zixin, and Yang Zixin returned the salute, after all, she is the person in charge of this apprenticeship ceremony, and at some levels, her status is higher than that of the city lord at this moment, so although she is the daughter of the city lord, it is reasonable for the city lord to take the lead in saluting.

After saluting, the city lord took Liang Long and Du Chengrui to stand behind Yang Zixin, and there was silence in the huge square.

I saw Yang Zixin take the brocade box held by a person next to him, took out a brocade book, and said: "The virtue of enlightening immortals, the wisdom of opening up the people......; As the name is Aoyama. ”

sprinkled a lot of it, it should be telling the history of the establishment of the Qingshan faction, after the eulogy, everyone knelt and bowed, Lin Feng didn't know this, and when he reacted, everyone else had already stood up, pretending to pat his knees, and looked around, no one should find out.

Looking up, she saw Yang Zixin staring straight at herself, Yang Zixin, who was in charge of reciting the eulogy, did not need to kneel, she naturally saw Lin Feng's movements in her eyes, and couldn't help but bring a smile to the corner of her mouth, fortunately, there was a veil to cover it, but she would not smile at her.

Yang Zixin naturally would not expose Lin Feng, and continued to take another brocade box, and opened it with a brocade letter: "The blessing of the immortals, the water of retreating south......"

This brocade book should be about the history of Nanling, after the eulogy, Lin Feng was about to kneel, only to find that the people around him just bent down to salute, and almost fell off guard, but fortunately, he was agile and stabilized.

Yang Zixin took this scene into her eyes again in front of her, and this time she finally couldn't help laughing, although the voice was small, but the city master standing behind her was profound, and he glanced at his daughter's back suspiciously, and shouted strange in his heart, his daughter has always been cold, how could she laugh on such a solemn occasion?

After the two eulogies, I saw Yang Zixin fly up to the head of the dragon statue, pinch a seal and cover it at the dragon's head, and then saw the dragon statue emit a burst of golden light, faintly with some dragon roars.

These dragon roars did not last long, the four thigh-thick iron chains on the copper pillar rattled, and gradually covered the dragon roar, after a while, the chain no longer sounded, and the dragon roar also stopped, only the golden light emitted by the dragon's body reached the sky, and Yang Zixin, who was standing at the head of the dragon, was covered by the golden light, and he couldn't see it really.

However, the voice came out: "Junior brothers and sisters, don't panic later, I will lead the dragon light to baptize you." ”

As soon as Yang Zixin's words fell, the golden light on the dragon statue seemed to be pulled by something, floating towards the monks below, and then divided into several wisps and descended on the monks' bodies.

Feeling the golden light hitting his body, Lin Feng didn't feel anything, just watched the golden light walking up and down his body, like a drop of water passing across his body, and gradually disappeared.

Stroking the skin across the golden light, Lin Feng didn't feel any difference, and he didn't know what the effect of this golden light was.

As if seeing Lin Feng's doubts, Luo Zishu whispered beside Lin Feng: "This dragon light is used to strengthen the body, ordinary monks are no different from mortals if they have no true qi, but after the baptism of dragon light, even if they don't have true qi, ordinary people can't hurt us in the slightest." ”
