Chapter 4 Let's Go to Baichuan to See the Mountains (2)
"The first assessment is to screen your qualifications, there is no danger, please take a pillar of incense per person, line up, visit the idol in an orderly manner, after the worship, go to the back of the statue, and the result will be known. ”
The loud voice instantly spread throughout the Baichuan Realm, hundreds of cliffs, hundreds of statues of gods manifested, in a variety of postures, all different.
Chiya was still staring at the big Buddha in front of him. Before coming to Kyoto, he had heard some things about Yourong Guoyuan on the way, many of which were already well known, such as the first major array of Yourong Guoyuan - the Eight Hundred Divine Statue Array!
The array was jointly established by dozens of sects, and there are 800 statues of gods, including the Taoist Three Qings, Nine Immortals, Seventy-two Xuan, the Nine Buddhas, the Eighteen Arhats, and the Twenty Heavens, the Four Sages of Confucianism, the Five Confucians, the One Hundred and Twenty Gentlemen, and the Mohist One Ancestor and the Three Stops and Sixty-six Guests...... Hundreds of schools of thought, and even some sects that are both good and evil have many images of the Holy Spirit here.
This was a hundred years ago, it was simply unimaginable, not to mention the great opposition between the good and evil factions, even within the righteous path, many sects also had friction and hostility, but under the crisis of the life and death of the human race, the factions finally united, each showed its strengths, complemented each other's shortcomings, and built this array.
The power of this array is amazing, in the hundred years since it was built, no one has seen its true power, only Liu Chengyin, the lord of the Twelve Palaces, the flower picking Taoist of Hongmeng Mountain, and the Beidouzi of the Tiandou Divine Machine Gate, the three of them have joined forces to try the formation.
The three top masters of the human race exerted their seven success powers, and it took half an hour to crack the big array, and the power of the eight hundred god idol arrays can be seen.
The statue of the god in front of Qianyi is the past Buddha of the three Buddhas - the Buddha of the Burning Lamp.
But before he could take a closer look, Xiao Weiwei had already pulled him and ran.
Qianyi was puzzled: "Weiwei, what are you running?"
Xiao Weiwei didn't look back: "Line up!"
Qian Yi suddenly realized, only to see that the originally scattered crowd had turned into a long dragon at an astonishing speed, even if Xiao Wei saw the opportunity quickly, at this moment it was just a little bit of a position in the front, and the candidates who reacted slowly had to walk to the end of the line in frustration.
The long queue of thousands of people looked back, and with Qianyi's eyesight, he couldn't see it clearly for a while.
Qianyi's eyes paused, and when he looked at Xiao Weiwei again, he had more appreciation.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and more than a dozen people walked out from the side of the statue.
The first person had half-white hair, a Taoist bun, a goatee, a book and a pen hanging around his waist, a Xuanqing Taoist robe on his body, and a lake-like pattern printed on his left chest. The whole person looked very much like an old scholar in a Taoist robe.
Behind this person, twelve young Taoist priests wearing blue Taoist robes stood proudly, and their instruments were extraordinary.
"Ahem!" The green-robed Taoist priest cleared his throat, untied the scroll on his waist, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, I am in charge of your first assessment this time, and these people are the students of the National Academy who maintain order. Time is running out, so let's get started. ”
The voice of the green-robed Taoist priest was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly, as if the latter was standing in front of them.
"The first, name?" the green-robed Taoist priest removed the pen from his waist.
"Wang Chuanjun. One of the candidates said respectfully.
The green-robed Taoist priest nodded, picked up the pen and wrote a few strokes on the scroll, and suddenly a blue light sank into the candidate's eyebrows, and at the same time, a student from the National Academy handed over a stick of incense.
"Go ahead. ”
Wang Chuanjun saluted and thanked him, and then walked to the statue with a solemn expression and bowed.
Suddenly, a crisp sound like a bamboo flute came out from the statue of the god, and a cyan bird jumped up from behind Wang Chuanjun, flapping its wings and flying into the sky.
"Let's go to the back. The green-robed Taoist priest didn't seem to see this scene, and said expressionlessly.
Wang Chuanjun was stunned for a moment, obviously a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask more, and left according to the latter's meaning.
"The second. ”
"Xie Chang'an. The second candidate, Shi Li, replied.
"Go for it......"
Soon, the second candidate also visited the idol, but unlike the first candidate, there was no bird jumping out of the second candidate's body, but a faint smoke rising from behind him, and the idol was not a flute, but a low sound like a snort.
The green-robed Taoist priest still didn't have any expression, and said lightly: "The third." ”
......
Soon, the test of a hundred people ended.
Twenty-one of the 100 people were like the scene of the first candidate worshipping the gods, echoing like a flute and singing birds in the blue sky, and seventy-eight were like the second candidate, with only a dull echo and a faint smoke. There was another person, but it was different, his echo was like the roar of a wild beast, and out of his back rushed out a purple beast that was a height of a foot, mighty and majestic, and walked away from the sky!
Qian Yi thought for a moment.
Since it is a test of qualifications, I think it has something to do with the response of the idol when worshipping the idol, one is a voice, and the other is a vision. It's just that I don't know which one is better, but based on the current situation, it should be slightly better with purple beasts, slightly inferior with birds, and only smoke again.
At the beginning of the test, the originally nervous and quiet crowd gradually heard voices, although they were still a little nervous, but at least the process did not seem painful, so the candidates in the back of the queue simply talked and guessed what the mystery of this first test was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, that is actually a disguise, and it is the teacher who really tests our qualifications, and the so-called worship of the idol is just to make everyone have a pious heart. ”
"I don't think I can see it, if what this brother said is true, it is really too much, why go up to worship one by one, I don't believe that with the ability to teach, one more person to worship, he can't tell who is not pious. ”
"Then what do you mean by worshipping the gods? ”
According to the words of the ancients, it should be inferred from the root bone meridians, so how can it be inferred? Generally speaking, inference means to make reasonable deductions and judgments on the basis of known things, and the path of cultivation is extremely mysterious, and there is naturally a lot of knowledge about its inference, so what kind of knowledge is there?...... Hey, brother, what are you doing with your head turned around?"
“......”
For a while, there were different opinions, and there was no consensus.
Fortunately, the candidates' doubts were quickly answered.
A student of the National Academy who was maintaining order suddenly looked at a candidate in the queue, and stepped forward with a solemn and surprised expression: "Senior brother, I can see at a glance that you and I are destined." ”
The candidate was stunned for a moment, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "Huh?"
The student of the National Academy smiled mysteriously and said, "Senior brother, I wonder what is going on with this god worship statue?"
The candidate nodded.
"But I want to know what the assessment is after worshipping the statue?"
Keep nodding.
"Do you want to know how to pass the guò assessment?"
Nod very hard!
The student of the National Academy winked at the candidate, lowered his voice and said: "Senior brother, there is a secret book here that is not passed on to outsiders, and it is impossible to come up with it, but I just saw that my junior brother has excellent roots, is talented, and is an unborn genius, so I plan to give it to my junior brother, how about it?"
When the examinee heard this, his eyes were eager, and he trembled with excitement, and the word "good" was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get out for a long time.
The student of the National Academy patted the latter's shoulder clearly, smiled gently, and suddenly frowned again: "But-"
"But what?" the candidate said nervously.
"This secret book was also given to me by a senior master back then, so I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to give it to my junior brother like this. ”
"What then?" the candidate was dumbfounded.
The students of the National Academy seemed to be very embarrassed and thought for a long time: "Okay! The senior brother is a prodigy of the ancients, and his achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary, and he will not blame me when he learns about it, but he just needs something on the junior brother as proof, so that the senior knows that I am not lying." ”
"What does the senior brother want?" the examinee hurriedly asked, looking at the eager look, as if he wanted to take off his pants on the spot and give them to the latter.
"Hmm," the student of the National Academy looked at the candidate for a long time, "The jade pendant on the waist of the junior brother seems to be good......
After a few breaths, the examinee happily looked at the "Absolute Secret Book" in his hand and opened it with high spirits, only to see six big characters written on the page of the book accompanied by golden light-
You must know the admission rules!
At this time, the student of the National Academy who had just endured the pain and taught the secret book suddenly shook his eyes again, and walked quickly to another candidate: "Senior brother, I can see at a glance that you and I are destined......
