Chapter 12: The Sorting Ceremony
When the willows on the moon were already at night, there were more than 100 people standing outside the mountain gate, and the sea of clouds and wood was in the column. The latter looked at the exit not far away.
"Senior Brother Yun, even if that kid comes out now, he has already missed the hour, and according to the rules, he is not qualified to be admitted to the hospital, so don't cheat for personal gain. ”
"If he's really not as skilled, I won't say much. But if a traitor deliberately stumbles, I will not spare it. ”
"What do you mean by that!" Mu Qing blew his beard and glared, "Don't you suspect that I have done something?"
Yun Haipi glanced at him with a smile: "Senior Brother Mu Qing doesn't have to be nervous, I will also talk about it casually." ”
"Look, someone is coming out. One of them suddenly shouted in a high voice.
The crowd went to the prestige, only to see a group of people limping out of the exit, all of them were gray and embarrassed. caused a malicious laughter from the onlookers.
Yun Hai caught a glimpse of Lin Jue's figure in the crowd, and seeing that he was safe and sound, his worry eased slightly.
Mu Qing's eyelids slightly closed as he looked at the last people who came out, and said coldly:
"Alas, it is really better to turn donkeys into grasshoppers than one generation after another. A little piece of forest will trap you for a day. Walking in the world in the future will only disgrace the Heavenly Dao Academy, so go back to where you come from. ”
"Hmm. Okay!"
"Let's all go home!" The first group to come out knew that they were winning, and then they applauded and made a commotion even more fiercely.
As soon as they heard that they had lost their qualifications for admission, many people's faces turned pale, and tears began to roll in the corners of their eyes.
"I'm not convinced!" suddenly someone shouted in the dejected crowd.
"Which one is not convinced?" Mu Qingliu looked at them with cold eyes, saw that everyone was trembling, and said in a low voice: "Which one was shouting just now?
The people who were glanced at by his eyes lowered their heads one by one, and the rest of the eyes flowed, and they really didn't notice who was shouting just now.
Swish!
Suddenly, a fat arm was raised in the crowd, it was the fat man standing next to Lin Jue, and I saw that he was magnificent, and he was not afraid of life and death.
Lin Jue sincerely appreciated it in his heart, it was he who was unhappy just now, this fat man dared to be a man, but the next moment he no longer thought so.
"You weren't convinced just now?" Mu Qing asked gloomily.
"Hmm... , it's not me, it's him!" The fat man pointed to the side with an innocent face, pointing to Lin Jue, who looked stunned.
"You ......" Lin Jue was suddenly at a loss. I only heard the fat man muttering in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, if you have anything to say, I will continue to press the formation for you, and the matter of charging into the battle will still be handed over to you." ”
"If you kid can't say that you're ugly, don't think about leaving safely!" Mu Qingyin said sharply, and inadvertently exerted an invisible oppression.
At this point, Lin Jue did not shy away, stretched his legs and bowed slightly to the two elders, and said in a straight voice: "If we really lose in terms of ability, we have nothing to say. It's just that he was maliciously persecuted, so that he innocently killed more than a dozen lives in vain, even if the Heavenly Dao Academy is afraid, he has to give justice. ”
Yun Hai took a few steps closer, his expression was solemn, and he said in a calm voice: "Lin Jue, tell me in detail, if someone really secretly moves his hands and feet, I will give you justice!"
Lin Jue thanked him, and then told him what happened to the beast demon willow in the forest. Mu Qing has been making provocative remarks on the side, but there are too many people involved, and he can't reverse black and white.
Yun Hai was silent for a long time after hearing this, and secretly thought about it in his heart, and then said:
"This matter is indeed our negligence, and we will send someone to comfort the dozen or so children who were killed. And your courage to fight against evil beasts is commendable, so you will be counted as having passed all of them, and as for how long you can stay in the Heavenly Dao Academy, it depends on your future creation. ”
"Senior Brother Yun, you ......"
Mu Qing had a dark face and wanted to refute. Yun Hai directly waved his hand to block it, staring at him with a pair of tiger eyes, and said, "This matter is over, and I will no longer pursue the murderer behind the scenes, if Elder Mu is still entangled, then I don't mind making a big deal about it." After finishing speaking, he also took a thoughtful look at a green-clothed young man not far behind Mu Qing, the young man also had a ghost in his heart, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Jue didn't break it in his eyes, he knew that more things were not as good as less.
Mu Qing only felt that his throat was dry, and said dryly, "Then follow your wishes", and led everyone into the courtyard gate.
That night, the Heavenly Dao Academy arranged a vacant room for them to rest, and it was not until tomorrow that the courtyard was divided before there was a formal residence. Lin Jue simply got together for the night, and the next morning he gathered with everyone in the central campus of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Although the Heavenly Dao Courtyard is famous, the construction style in the courtyard is not flattering, far less than its reputation, and its luxury is not even comparable to the Nangong Mansion.
Stepping into the courtyard gate is a very wide area of the school field, the left and right sides are respectively "wooden word branch" and "cloud word branch", the only thing to see the magnificent momentum is only the front of the palace, but this palace is inscribed with an unobtrusive temple name - nameless hall. After that, they couldn't see the whole picture clearly, and they could only tiptoe to see some corner spires, and the forest in the back was not qualified to enter at the moment.
Today's presiding over the branch ceremony is still Mu Qing and Yunhai. Both of them changed into new black robes, which looked a little more imposing.
Mu Qing coughed dryly, and the field was quiet when it was neutral. He stroked his long beard in a tone and said slowly:
"The assessment of our Heavenly Dao Academy is different from other places. Although you have passed a small test and entered the gate of the Heavenly Dao Academy, it does not mean that you are disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy. You could be evicted at any time. Those who are indiscriminate should leave as soon as possible, so as not to be swept away when the time comes, which will be even more humiliating. As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Jue a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.
"This old man has had a holiday with you?" asked the fat man, with some schadenfreude.
"Well, there are some, so you better stay away from me, so as not to bother you. Lin Jue reminded with a wry smile.
"Don't try to bluff me, you made me a big deal, when will I pay it off, when will I leave. The fat man said and leaned towards Lin Jue, sticking tighter.
The two whispered, and Mu Qing's nonsense in front of him was almost finished, and he only said one word in the end. "Free to choose the house. ”
Mu Qing and Yun Hai each had a bunch of hospital clothes in front of them. Whichever branch you choose, you will wear the uniform of the school, and the two of them will not interfere with the choice.
Most of them inquired about the situation of the Heavenly Dao Academy before they were admitted to the hospital, and Mu Qing was above the sea of clouds in terms of seniority and strength. So most people, even those who came after yesterday, were saddened by Mu Qing, but they still chose him.
When Nangong Yu chosen, his two brothers stood aside and watched, because he chose the "Muzi Courtyard" without thinking. But Nangong Lin, who followed closely, stood there and hesitated for a long time, ignoring the eyes of Nangong Wen and the three secret envoys, the girl's eyes were shallow and looked back, so she bit her lips and teeth and resolutely chose the "Cloud Word Courtyard".
Not only were Nangong and the others furious, but Lin Jue was also a little surprised. It's just that he was chatting with the fat man, and he didn't notice where the girl was looking.
They were all scheming, so the whole process didn't delay for long, and the two teas didn't work, so only Lin Jue and the fat man had not yet chosen the branch.
Lin Jue walked in front of Yunhai and bowed first, and unsurprisingly chose Yunzi Courtyard. Seeing the last hospital uniform in Lin Jue's hand, Yun Hai also smiled happily.
"Huh, no?!"
The fat man poked his head out from behind and suddenly screamed, which frightened Lin Jue.
"Why don't you choose the ...... over there," Yunhai whispered to the fat man.
The fat man glanced at Mu Qing obliquely, revealing an extremely disdainful look, and then raised his head to look at the sky and stared, and said in a loud voice:
"Don't go!"
"Bastard boy dares to be so rude!" Mu Qing was instantly ignited. Yun Hai hurriedly stopped him and humbly comforted: "No matter which side he chooses, he is a disciple of my Heavenly Dao Academy, why should Elder Mu be angry." Then he turned to the fat man and said, "Since you are dedicated to entering my Yunzi Academy, then I will fulfill you, and I will have the hospital uniform sent to you later." ”
When the fat man heard this, he bared his teeth and smiled, and complimented: "It's still Elder Yun's generosity!"
At this time, Mu Qing was even more angry, but he was angry in front of his disciples on the first day, which inevitably damaged his elder's face a little, and he snorted coldly and walked away.
Yunhai rarely saw Mu Qing deflated, and his heart was relieved for a while, and he was even more fond of looking at the fat man, so he immediately urged people to get the hospital clothes for the fat man.
In this sorting ceremony, the Muzi Academy accepted a total of 139 disciples and 69 female disciples. The Yunzi Academy had a total of fifty-four disciples, and the number of female disciples was even less, only twenty-four. And there are very few people with outstanding appearances, so in the following days, the fat man complained to Lin Jue. bluntly said that his peach blossoms were not prosperous because of Lin Jue's scourge, causing Lin Jue to inexplicably owe the fat man another unjust debt. Fortunately, he owes a lot, and he doesn't care so much, anyway, he won't be able to pay it off for a while, as long as he can make the fat man quiet for a while, it's worth it.
The Yunzi Courtyard is located on the right side of the central school field, and is roughly shaped like a small courtyard in the courtyard. It is said that the area is less than one-fifth the size of the wooden branch. But after all, there are many fewer disciples, so the overall situation is quite empty.
At the front of the courtyard is the residence of the male disciples, and there are twenty houses sparsely built, and the conditions are not as good as those in ordinary mansions. Behind is a circular martial arts training ground, which is similar to the Nangong Mansion, except that there is an extra square ring in the middle of the martial arts field, protruding from the ground more than one zhang high, and there is an iron frame with a post on the platform, and there are three words carved on the foundation stone below - "Falling Star Platform".
At the end is the residence of the female disciples, and the male disciples are forbidden to step into the half-step. The fat man once secretly ran in to take a few looks, and when he came back, he was furious, scolding the Heavenly Dao Academy for valuing women over men.
Originally, the residence of the female disciple was an independent courtyard for one person, not only the decoration of Zhu Yong Biwa was exquisite, the scenery was also excellent, the birds and flowers were fragrant all year round, and there was a stream in front of the house that attracted from the back mountain and the water was murmuring all day long. I'm afraid that many Zhumen embroidery households can't compare here.
The more the fat man talked, the more angry he became, if it weren't for Lin Jue's desperate hug of him, he really wanted to move in that night.
