Chapter 2 Three Events
The next day, Feng Yan and Wang Ling left the post house and went to the top of the mountain.
They still can't forget the strange look in the innkeeper's eyes at the checkout.
Yesterday, the two stayed at the inn as official guests.
In the lobby, the hungry duo ordered a lot of food over and over again.
The innkeeper felt that it was impossible for the two children to bring much money, and the cute little purple attracted a large number of customers, which made his business much better, so he decided to waive the fee for the two.
However, the two of them are embarrassed to eat for nothing.
This morning, the two of them settled the bill.
The total cost is ten taels.
And the two of them, only have change.
When a hundred strings of copper coins appeared in front of the boss's eyes, the boss didn't know how to react.
In the end, the boss glanced at the two of them and said:
"No more, no less, just right. β
His gaze turned to the place where the two of them wereβthe towering mountain.
This mountain is called Ryujin Mountain, and it is the origin of the dragon clan of the guardian beast clan.
At that time, a deafening dragon roar shook the heavens and the earth and all souls panicked.
After that, a huge dragon soared into the sky.
This is the first generation of Qinglong, which is called the dragon god by other creatures and the ancestor of the dragon clan in the world - Hongmeng Ancestral Dragon.
After that, the dragon clan multiplied on the continent and gradually became the guardian god of the continent, and this continent is also known as the Qinglong Continent.
After the Battle Against the Heavens, the once-prosperous dragons lost their traces, but the mountain peak miraculously survived.
In order to remember the dragon clan's succession, the surviving creatures named it Ryujin Mountain.
Later, the Qinglong Continent was renamed the Ancient Continent.
More than 100,000 years ago, three well-known sects suddenly entered everyone's eyes with a strong attitude.
They are the Dao Sect in the west of the continent, the Dan Sect in the north of the continent, and the Qi Sect in the south of the continent.
In just one hundred years, the three sects merged with the surrounding large and small sects to become the three giants of the Ancient Continent.
After that, it's time for the giants to fight.
But the strength is not much different, and there has been no result in two hundred years.
But it's not all for nothing.
That's ......
The upper echelons of the three sects are about to become friends, and the disciples below have already become friends.
The Taoist sect is good at cultivating, the Dan sect is good at refining pills, and the instrument sect is good at refining tools, each has its own strengths, envy each other, and they exchange ideas while fighting.
After all, improving the strength of the sect is the top priority.
As a result, in the past two hundred years, except for the first ten years of real hostility, after that, they were all fighting and communicating, and even finally became a mere formality.
As soon as the three high-level leaders saw that this couldn't be beaten, then cooperate.
So, the three sects united.
The Taoist sect is mainly responsible for teaching disciples to practice, the Danzong is mainly responsible for teaching disciples to alchemy, and the instrument sect is mainly responsible for teaching disciples to refine weapons.
As for the disciples of the three sects, their status is only that of this sect, but if they want to learn others, as long as they apply and pass it, they can go to the other two sects to study.
In order to make it easier to cooperate, the three sects also put together the recruitment of disciples, and there was a conference of the three sects.
And Longshen Mountain is located in the center of the continent, and it happens to be in the center of the three sects, and the three sects have used this place as a place to recruit disciples.
When it comes to enrollment, we have to mention the enrollment rules of the three cases.
The joint statement of the three sects reads:
Age 8 to 20 years old, cultivation to at least the third level of body forging, the specific situation is interviewed.
This is a very restrictive but very flexible statement.
Most of the cultivators of the Ancient Continent started cultivating at the age of five, and they were generally able to reach the third level of forging at the age of eight, and as long as they practiced hard, they could reach the standard.
But what if you are twenty years old and forge the third order?
That's basically the cultivation talent is extremely poor, and this one is not accepted.
What if it's an accident?
That depends.
The "case-by-case interview" was then added to the statement.
Although the Three Sects Conference is only an event held by the Three Sects to recruit disciples every year, it is a grand event for the entire continent.
Why......
The sphere of influence adds up to almost three sects in the entire continent, and the enrollment scope is naturally the entire continent.
His gaze returned to the two of them and Xiao Zi.
At this time, the two of them and a fox were walking along a rugged mountain road to the top of the mountain, and behind them was a surging flow of people.
This road is actually just an ordinary mountain road with the name of the village under the mountain, but it is called "the road to seek immortals" by the people who come to seek immortals, and even regards it as the first pass to enter the three sects.
There are a lot of people on the rugged mountain road, pushing and shoving, and there are always a few who accidentally can't stand steadily.
So, there is such a custom here:
Once you fall out of this mountain path, you will no longer embark on the path of seeking immortals.
And there are people who really follow it.
In their words:
"Such a path can eliminate you, so what qualifications do you have to set foot on that long immortal road!"
............
"Look, those two kids ......"
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the flow of people.
I saw a man, a woman and two children running up the mountain wall, and there seemed to be a looming purple figure in the middle.
It was Feng Yan, Wang Ling and Xiao Zi.
The two people and a fox who planned to go up the mountain while watching the scenery (they didn't want to rush before were in a hurry) drifted with the flow of people like a flat boat in the turbulent flow of people.
The two of them felt very uncomfortable at first.
Then I felt that if it went on like this, it might not be possible to go up when it was dark.
In the end, under the lure of Wang Ling's "If you go up early, you can rest and eat early", the two of them chose to take the unusual path.
"The two kids...... Is it the Qi training period?!"
The flow of people is not surprised by the fact that they walked up the mountain wall, because it has happened before.
It's just that this kind of walking can only be done during the Qi training period, and those two children turned out to be the Qi training period?
The two of them and a fox walked along the mountain wall to the top of the mountain, and it felt quite wonderful along the way.
This is the first time I've played like this!
In less than a pillar of incense, the two came to the top of the mountain.
However, at this time, no one paid attention to them.
Because the landmark event that began with the Three Sects Conference, the Divine Dragon Festival, began.
Three old men appeared in the eyes of everyone, one in a purple robe, one in a black robe, and one in a green robe.
The three old men walked to a square stone platform in the middle of the mountaintop, and on the stone platform was a huge tripod.
On the giant tripod, there are many dragons engraved, lifelike, with different postures.
On the east-facing side is carved a mighty and domineering dragon head.
The three old men first bowed deeply to the dragon's head.
Slowly bend over and get up slowly.
Then the old man in the purple robe stood to the north of the tripod, the old man in the black robe stood to the south of the tripod, and the old man in the green robe stood to the west of the tripod.
The three of them faced Juding at the same time and bowed deeply.
Slowly bend over and get up slowly.
This time, it's slower than the previous one.
Then, the three of them faced the east with solemn expressions.
The three old men spoke at the same time:
"The dragon god is above, and the ancestral dragon soars into the sky here, and the heavens and the earth shake...... The Houlong clan took root here for the benefit of all souls...... After the catastrophe, it will not fall...... After the turn of the sun and the moon, it is back to its grandeur...... Now, the descendants of the three sects of Dao, Dan and Qi have borrowed the blessing of the dragon god, and may the living beings on the mainland be so ordinary and endless...... The dragon god is above, and the descendants of the three sects swear in this ruined land:
The descendants of the three sects will bring this continent back to its former glory!"
After that, the dragon head on the giant tripod emitted a burst of golden light, and a dragon roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Then, the dragon patterns flickered, and bursts of dragon groans sounded, just like when the dragon clan was glorious.
The flow of people on the winding mountain road couldn't help but boil.
Broken Lands?
The Wind Dead noticed what was said in the sacrificial words.
Then, he remembered what he had heard yesterday.
After the Battle Against the Heavens, Longshen Mountain was indeed preserved, but it was not intact.
Longshenshan was cut off by the waist.
The current summit of Longshen Mountain is the original mountainside, so it has a large enough "enrollment site".
After many years, the rest of Longshen Mountain has been restored to the same place as before, but on the top of the mountain, there is still no grass.
At this point, if someone looks from a distance, they will find:
The crowd on the winding mountain road was like a dragon's body, but the place where the dragon's head was turned off.
And the giant dome that shimmered with golden light threw a huge golden dragon head looming on the top of the mountain, just connecting the winding dragon body.
After the end of the Dragon God Festival, the dragon chant also stopped, and the main business of the Three Sects Conference, the enrollment of students, began.
I saw that the old man in the green robe waved his hand, and a flame ignited in the sky.
Then, the flame formed a wide ring.
One end is close to the top of the mountain, and the other end is close to the bottom of the mountain.
Then, steps of flame appeared on the flame ring.
The fire, very strong, looked terrible.
But it doesn't hurt at all.
After that, the old man in the green robe said a word, and the whole mountain heard it.
"Monks over the age of fifteen who are below the Qi cultivation period, go up the mountain road, go down the mountain on this road! Stand up, it will move on its own. There are three disciples under the mountain to respond. β
Then, about 100 young disciples dressed in purple, black, or green robes flew down from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The originally boiling crowd calmed down instantly, and then began to become chaotic.
"Above the Qi training period, give Lao Tzu hurry up!"
In an instant, the world was clear.
Did we hear it wrong?
The elders of the three sects call themselves "Lao Tzu"?
"Ahem...... Monks above the Qi training period can climb to the top of the mountain within a cup of tea, and they will not wait for the expiration date! By the way, this conference will end in the evening. β
In an instant, the world was noisy again.
I was going to hide my strength, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but I climbed quickly along the mountain wall from the flow of people in an instant, and when I reached the top of the mountain, I almost died of exhaustion.
"WhewβI almost said the wrong thing, but I'm lucky to be witty. β
The old man in the green robe disappeared into the crowd, reached an inconspicuous corner, and patted his chest.
"Senior Brother Yan, ...... you" The purple-robed old man came to the green-robed old man, not knowing what to say.
Usually there are few people, so there is no problem at all, but now, it is the Three Sects Conference, why can't you control your mouth?
And what he said is not at all consistent with reality.
"Senior Brother Yan, you are ...... It's a bit ruthless. β
The old man in the black robe didn't know what to say, so he only held back this sentence.
Originally, only people over the age of fifteen who were under the Qi cultivation period could register at the foot of the mountain, and they only needed to go to the bottom of the mountain.
Secondly, although it is true that the conference is only one day, there is no time limit.
"Two junior brothers, you don't understand this. This way of coming is a sign of determination, and this way of returning is a sign of courage. If you are over fifteen years old and below the Qi training period, your talent is just like that, if you don't have the determination and courage to go far, you might as well give up as soon as possible...... If you can't grasp the opportunity and don't dare to catch it, you won't be able to go far......"
Then, the old man in the green robe turned around.
β...... As for those who are hiding and choking, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, lions and rabbits, they also do their best, and they dare to hide and choke on this path of cultivation? Should they fight or not, I am afraid that they are real pigs......
Worthy of coming out of that place!
The purple-robed old man and the black-robed old man could only sigh silently when they heard what the green-robed old man said.
After a cup of tea, the old man in the green robe said something that everyone could hear:
"I lied to you just now, the Qi cultivation period above is actually until tonight. The rest remains unchanged. β
As for the reaction of others, it has nothing to do with him.
Then, the old man in the green robe looked at the flame staircase, which was already operating normally, and people were being sent down one after another.
"This elevator...... It's really easy to use. β
The old man in the green robe muttered.
