Eighty-eight, inner disciples
Three months later, Chen Peng had been able to successfully activate the Vajra Law Body Divine Power, but at this time, the Yuan Qi Gang Armor was still very fragile, and basically had no defensive effect, but from scratch, he finally took an important step. www.biquge.info At this time, it was less than five months before Chen Peng began to practice the Vajra Dharma Body Divine Power, and Chen Peng had already achieved initial results, and this speed can be said to be very amazing, even if the disciples of the Xigeng School practiced the Xigeng Dao Body Divine Power, there were countless predecessors' experience to refer to, and since the record, Chen Peng's speed can also be ranked in the forefront.
At the end of the year, another three months had passed, and at this time, Chen Peng urged the Vajra Dharma Body Divine Power, and the condensed vitality could already faintly see the appearance of the pale yellow Tuxing Gang Armor, and the progress of cultivation could be said to be a thousand miles in a day. Although the supernatural powers of each sect are different, the basic principles are similar, but the specific means of exerting them are different. The power of the earth is thick and strong, and most of the defensive powers are to turn the vitality into the way of the earth, so the defense is relatively stronger. However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are also supernatural powers that evolve other avenue rules into talisman armor. There are many avenues between heaven and earth, as long as the monk realizes the truth, he can evolve the supernatural powers, like the use of the vajra magic body for the way of the earth is actually very simple, and the power is also average, maybe other body protection powers have evolved into the way of water, talking about the water to the soft, may not be as protective as the way of the earth, but if this magic power is used more deeply for the way of water, the effect of protection may be stronger than that of the vajra body supernatural power.
In fact, speaking of which, the Xigeng Dao body supernatural power is also a fairly ordinary supernatural power, and the use of the way of earth is also relatively simple, but the victory is better than the word shallow, and the entry supernatural power of general monks is relatively simple, otherwise, if it is too profound, it will be difficult to cultivate. Speaking of which, Chen Peng made a mistake, but he also chose the right path.
At the end of the year, the elder of the Alchemy Palace, Xijiang Daoist, reported Chen Peng's contribution this year to the Service Palace, which made the Xiping Dao people angry. For two consecutive years, the people of Xiping Dao have given Chen Peng one of the most difficult tasks in the sect, and they didn't expect Chen Peng to get the first-class evaluation, and then he can be upgraded from a registered disciple to an outer disciple if he gets a first-class evaluation. If the people of Xiping Dao knew that Chen Peng not only won the first-class evaluation for two consecutive years, but also left a large amount of money, I am afraid that the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
At the end of the year, it is the day of the big competition among the sects, and the level of these outer disciples is about to move again, but Chen Peng and Wu You are still registered disciples, that is, they are just watching the excitement, and they are not qualified to compete. However, this time, what attracted Chen Peng's attention even more than Dabi was that two of the outer disciples had successfully cultivated the Xigeng Dharma Body Divine Power and were promoted to become inner disciples. The inner disciples are the main force of the Xigeng faction, and the initiation ceremony is held after the end of Dabi.
One of the two disciples who cultivated into supernatural powers is called Jiang Yuanjia, Chen Peng had paid special attention to it during last year's big competition, although two disciples were ranked first among the outer disciples, but the other monks did not dare to challenge them, indicating that these two people were highly cultivated, and others had no chance of winning at all. Jiang Yuanjia is one of them, and the other is called Pei Haoxiang, but this time he did not break through to the realm of supernatural powers. Another monk who broke through to the realm of supernatural powers was called Wu Xuan, but this person was only ranked second among the outer disciples, but he was a sensation and broke through to the realm of supernatural powers.
......
The Sword Cloud Palace was filled with smoke, and the outer disciples were all gathered here. Today is the entrance ceremony for Jiang Yuanjia and Wu Xuan to become inner disciples, the bells and drums in the hall are ringing, very solemn, and Jiang Yuanjia and Wu Xuan are kneeling on the main hall of Jianyun Palace, their faces are solemn, but the person who presides over this entrance ceremony is the real person of the angry sword. Xiyun Dao Chang is only the head of the outer sect, and he can only manage the outer disciples and registered disciples, but he can't control the inner disciples, and he doesn't have the qualifications to preside over the introductory ceremony of the inner disciples, and he is only a member of the inner disciples.
"Jiang Yuanjia, Wu Xuan, the two of you have officially become the inner disciples of my Xigeng faction today, since then the two of you have to take the Xigeng faction as the first in everything, the sect is the sky, it is the earth, there is heaven and earth, there is a place for you, every disciple of our Xigeng faction, including me, has the elixir and magic weapon, and when fighting with others, there is the same sect and the teacher to help the fist. You should remember that we monks, especially those like you who have cultivated to the realm of supernatural powers, have a long lifespan, and your parents and brothers can often only accompany you for a short period of time in your life, and the only ones who can accompany you and protect you throughout your life are the sects. In the future, the first thing you should think about in everything is whether it is beneficial or harmful to the sect, and then consider your own gains and losses. Of course, as long as you are loyal to the sect, the sect will naturally not treat you badly. After you become an inner disciple, your daily offerings are much richer than those of the outer disciples, and you have made meritorious contributions, and you have been given pills, magic weapons, and profound supernatural powers. But if he betrays the sect, he will be the enemy of all the disciples of our Xigeng faction, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm in the future. The words of the Angry Sword True Man in front were still pleasant, but in the end, they were fierce, and suddenly the atmosphere above the hall became solemn, "Do you remember?"
Jiang Yuanjia and Wu Xuan repeatedly expressed their determination, and swore that they would never betray the Xigeng faction in this life. Next, the angry sword real person personally gave the blade, robe, pill and other treasures, and registered the two of them and recorded them in the door tree, a set of red tape was done, and it was already getting late.
"This Xigeng faction...... , a cultivator sect is also the same as a gang in the world, what kind of initiation ceremony do they still have, but also to show loyalty and make an oath," the ceremony ended, back in the room, Chen Peng recalled today's introductory ceremony of the two disciples, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, "But it's no wonder that even if you become a monk, you can't live a secluded life, although a monk is more comfortable than a mortal, but there is no way to do everything by yourself." The elixirs and magic weapons used in cultivation still have to be exchanged with others, even if they are all refined by themselves, this material can rarely be collected by themselves, and it is inevitable to buy it from other monks. Over time, a sect was formed, and when competing for resources, it was always cheaper than casual cultivation. ”
......
In the past few months, there has been a calm in the Xigeng faction, but Liuzhou is not calm, the barbarian army has gathered on the border, and Huangshi County, which borders the barbarians, has been invaded by the barbarian army several times.
In Laichuan County, Huangshi County, the city gate is closed, and a figure flashes on the city wall, hiding behind the arrow battlements, but it is the township warrior and the army of Laichuan County, and the county magistrate also personally went to the city wall to supervise the battle and cheer up the soldiers. Two miles outside the city wall, a group of cavalry scattered in a line, surrounding the city gate, looking like there were about five or six hundred horsemen, each carrying a scimitar, holding a curved bow in his hand, and the whole equipment was fighting, as if every knight could ride and shoot, it was really a great force. In front of these cavalrymen, there was a crowd of people, all of them in ragged clothes, with vegetables on their faces, and they didn't look like troops at all, but like ordinary people.
Among the cavalry ranks, a big man with a long beard, who looked like a leader, put his hand on a pergola, looked at the distant city wall, and scolded: "These summer dogs, they don't have fart skills, they will only hide in the city as a turtle with a shrunken head, and they will come out to fight with our warriors." ”
"Master, you're right, these summer dogs are greedy for life and afraid of death. Although we are brave, we are all capable of horses, and we lack the equipment to attack the city. I don't think it's better to do this, let's drive these summer dog people to attack the city first, consume all the arrows of the defending army, and then we will send another team of warriors to the city gate, hold the city gate with flying claws, and use the power of horses to pull the city gate open. As soon as the city gate is opened, these summer dogs will be without turtle shells, and they will not be slaughtered by us. A bald man next to him offered advice.
"That's it," said the bearded man, "and that's the only way to do it, those summer dogs are full of benevolence and morality, but they happen to be used by us." You go, let these summer dog people carry the guys to the siege of the city. ”
The bald man took the order, rode out of the ranks, came behind the people in front, and shouted: "Listen well, our general is gracious and wants to let you go." But before I let you go, there is something I want you to do, do you see the county town of Laichuan in front of you, as long as you go up and open the city gate, I will let you go home. After the bald man finished speaking, he shouted behind him, "Sons, drive these summer dogs forward." As he spoke, he drew his scimitar and urged his horses to slowly move behind the people, waving the scimitar in his hand as he ran. Dozens of knights also ran out of the cavalry ranks, like the bald man, drew their scimitars, and drove the people of Daxia to attack the city.
In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, so it is said that it is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world. People's instinct to survive is imprinted in the bones, in the case of no threat to life, can be fed and clothed, may be benevolent, righteous and shameful, but in this case, I am afraid that as long as there is a glimmer of life, I will also take my life to fight. These captured people of Daxia have no other way to go, you let them turn around and fight with the barbarian cavalry, behind them are hundreds of knights, with curved bows in their hands ready to attack, and before they can reach the front, they are afraid that they will be shot into hedgehogs.
The people were driven away by the knights, and they slowly began to move, carrying in their hands the dismantled beams of the house, the felled trees, and other instruments, which were used as siege instruments to strike at the city gates.
On the city wall, the county magistrate and the officials saw this scene, and their faces sank one by one.
"County Zun, those barbarians drove my people of Daxia to attack the city again. Do you think when these people arrive in front of us, shall we fight or not?" asked the Laichuan County Garrison to the county commander.
"This ......" the county commander didn't know how to answer for a while, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, but this was not the main reason for his hesitation, after all, compared to his own life, everything else was not important. The key is that if he gave this order, what if the court held him accountable afterwards. But he was the highest-ranking person among the people present, and he was the only one who gave this order, so he was a little hesitant for a while.
