Volume 1 The First Arrival in Kyushu Chapter 16 The Dojo
"Haha, the junior brother said is the junior nephew behind him, and he is really extraordinary. There is a senior brother recommending, as long as there is no doubt about the spiritual root qualifications, there should be a great chance to enter the Aoba Pavilion, and the senior brother congratulates the senior brother in advance. The Taoist priest surnamed Qiu said again.
"Aoba Pavilion!"
Hearing the words of the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu, Daoist Yuanming just smiled faintly, while the people of the family behind the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu showed shocked expressions, and looked at Ye Cang with strange eyes. One of the teenage girls in red clothes was even more curious, and a pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Ye Cang from top to bottom, and then smiled shyly at Ye Cang, looking very playful and cute.
"By the way, I'll introduce you to Senior Brother. This is my Qiu family in the lockdown of the city, although I have been worshipping the sect for many years, it is still difficult to give up this trace of worldly family affection. This year, there is also a junior with good qualifications in the clan, so I took this opportunity to recommend him to participate in the mountain gate test, hoping to be lucky enough to worship in the sect. The Taoist priest surnamed Qiu seemed to have thought of something, and introduced the people behind him to the Yuanming Daoist.
"Ling'er, I haven't come to see the Taoist yet. ”
"Ling'er has seen the Taoist. Just now, the elf-like girl came out of the crowd, bowed down and saluted to Yuanming Dao, then turned around and smiled at Ye Cang, "Little brother, hello, my name is Qiu Ling'er, and I am from the lockdown city. ”
Hearing the introduction of the other party, Ye Cang immediately thought that the original owner of his body was from the Closed City three hundred miles away, and he had the impression that there was indeed a first-class family surnamed Qiu in the Closed City, and his strength was still above the Ye family. Could it be that the little girl on the other side is from the Qiu family? However, on the surface, Ye Cang did not reveal anything, but just smiled faintly at the other party, and did not speak back.
"Good little girl. Daoist Yuanming glanced at the little girl in front of him at this time, said a noncommittal word, and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Daoist Yuanming didn't seem to have a good conversation, after a little greeting, the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu took everyone back to the position just now, and at the same time, the people behind him kept asking the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu something, and glanced in the direction of Ye Cang and the others from time to time. And after the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu left, the Taoist chief of Yuanming simply closed his eyes, ignored Ye Cang on the side, and began to pretend to sleep.
In this way, after waiting for more than an hour, more than ten groups of people came one after another, and the entire platform was full of people at this time, but without exception, no one stood on the platform. Ye Cang and the others also had some people standing around them at this time, but they were all people from some secular families, and they were not like the Taoist priest surnamed Qiu, who was led by a Taoist priest, and it seemed that there were not many Taoist priests in Qingye Guan who could be recommended.
"Dao Chief, what is this platform for?" Seeing that the people around him were talking loudly or quietly, Ye Cang couldn't help but ask.
The "platform" in your mouth is actually the dojo of the sect. Daoist Yuanming opened his closed eyes slightly, glanced at the platform in front of him, and replied lightly, "The dojo is the lintel of all our sects in Daozhou, and its main purpose is to be a place for disciples to compete and learn. Generally speaking, the dojo is not open to the public, except for the mountain gate test at the end of the year every year, it is a competition for disciples within the sect held every two years, and it is rarely used in ordinary times. However, there is also a special circumstance that when other sects propose to the sect to compete, they also compete in the dojo. It's just that this kind of situation rarely happens, and since the establishment of the Aoba Temple, it has only happened once more than 50 years ago. The most famous dojo in the entire Daozhou is the Sanqing Dojo of Sanqingguan, which I have only heard of and have never seen. ”
After listening to the introduction of Daoist Yuanming, Ye Cang couldn't help but look at the dojo in front of him curiously again. Except for one column on each side, the rest of the place is a collage of ordinary stones, and the decorative paving is extremely simple, and there is no special place.
When Ye Cang wanted to ask something again, there was some noise from the east of the dojo.
I saw a group of Taoist priests coming from the east direction of the dojo one after another, leading some Taoist priests about twenty years old, standing in two rows in the east part of the dojo, and then a group of girls wearing light green gauze skirts, also standing in two rows under the eastern dojo. At this time, four more figures flew towards the dojo quickly against the wind, and their clothes rustled in the wind, and everyone saw that the people who came were two young men and two women, and the four of them landed steadily on the edge of the dojo, and then quickly stood up to the position of the four stone pillars around the dojo.
After the four men had taken their bearings, five more flew in from a distance. Unlike the four people just now, the five people who flew in this time seemed to be stepping forward in parallel in the air, three men and two women, all holding dust whisks in their hands and their hair in buns. Every seemingly random step in the air can travel a large distance. After a while, he came to the top of the dojo, and then landed gently and skillfully in the center of the dojo. The five people glanced at the people under the dojo, and a powerful aura emanated from the five people as the center, and the people of the families around the dojo all took a few steps back under this aura, and some of them who were not cultivated enough even fell to the ground.
"Wow!"
Just when everyone was shocked by the powerful aura of the five people in the dojo, a loud chirp came, and everyone looked up, only to see a white giant bird flying from the east, extremely fast, and came to the sky above the dojo in the blink of an eye. When everyone saw it clearly, they found that it was a white giant crane, and a young Taoist priest was sitting on the back of the white crane, and a wisp of white beard set off a kind of fairy wind and Taoist demeanor.
At this time, whether it was the five people who had just appeared in the center of the dojo, the young Daoist priests who had appeared before, and even the pharmacists under the dojo, including Daoist Yuanming, all bowed and saluted.
"Meet the boss!"
At this time, the people of the family below the dojo still didn't understand that the person sitting above the white crane was the current head of the Aoba Temple, a Sang Dao person. So they all hurriedly bowed down and bowed, "Meet a Sang Daoist." The voice spread far away, echoing in the mountains and forests.
Ye Cang also bowed with everyone, and at the same time raised his head curiously, wanting to take a look at the demeanor of this person as the head of the Qingye View faction, the momentum of the Qingye audience just now really shocked Ye Cang, "Is this the style of the cultivation sect on the Kyushu Continent? It is even more domineering than the emperor in the previous life." ”
At this time, Ye Cang saw a Sang Dao person sitting on top of the white crane from a distance, and a person and a crane were in front of him, but it seemed that there was nothing there, and it seemed to be very far away from him, out of reach.
"It's all free of courtesy, poor Dao thank you for your support and love for this view," Yisang Daoren still rode on top of the white crane, and said lightly, "Musang, you will preside over the mountain gate test later, I still have something to deal with today, so I will go first." ”
"Respectfully follow the law of the head of the house, and send the head of the house. ”
In the middle of the dojo, a white-haired Taoist man in his fifties and sixties wearing a brown robe walked out with a whisk in his hand, bowed to the head of the air and said. At this time, the white crane in the air shook its wings and turned into a phantom and flew into the distance, and the people below the dojo felt a strong wind blowing towards them, and even some weak people stood unsteadily, holding on tightly to the people around them without falling.
"Congratulations to the master!" all the Taoist priests in the dojo also saluted.
"Okay, now the mountain gate test has officially begun. Please go to the dojo and take the test. After the figure of a Sang Dao person completely disappeared in the air, Mu Sang Dao in the center of the dojo turned to the people under the dojo and spoke.
"Go ahead. Daoist Yuanming glanced at Ye Cang beside him, reached out and patted Ye Cang's shoulder, "Take it easy, don't be nervous." ”
"Yes, Daoist. Hearing the comfort of Daoist Yuanming, Ye Cang replied softly, and then got up and walked towards the dojo.
