Chapter 283: Symbolism and Dharma
"This thing...... It's like a bird!"
Twenty-seven array flags fluttered, encircling an extremely strangely shaped arena, and Thirteen Lang looked left and right, up and down, and finally came to this conclusion.
Looking at the purple flag that seemed to be like a long beak, he was stunned and said, "Where did it come from?"
No one answered his words, and his eyes of contempt shot like sharp arrows, and he was silently mocked.
"Brother...... You really don't know?" Jacques was full of shame, and he blamed himself for not fulfilling his duties as a senior.
"He knows it's weird. ”
He couldn't even help it, and said stupidly: "This is the form of a divine beast, and it is the symbol of the Taoist Academy. ”
"Isn't the symbol of the temple a mountain?"
Thirteen Lang's gaze swept around, several students had the logos of the Taoist Academy, and the logos of different branches had some of their own graphics on them, such as the Thirteen Branches, which was to add a lightning bolt to the top of the mountain that symbolized Ziyun Mountain, showing coldness and brutality.
"Signs are not symbols. ”
Yan Meng pursed his lips vigorously, and said in a faint tone: "Brother Xiao is fortunate not to be in the Eighth Branch, otherwise he would have been scolded by the master." ”
Thirteen Lang was frightened and said, "He also cares about this little thing, so he can't be busy to death?"
Yan Meng said: "It's about the glory of the Taoist Academy, how can it be a trivial matter?"
Forcefully straightening her chest, which was not very strong, she said, "See, this is our own mark of the Eighth Branch, and it will move, isn't it?"
A giant snake spat out a letter, staring at Shisanlang with an eerie gaze as if it were substance. As if to warn him not to look at indecently.
"Watch the game. Watch the game, you're almost on the field, warm up early. Thirteen Lang said in a panic.
"I'm just warming up. Yan Meng's chest is higher.
After she left lightly and prepared to appear, Shisanlang secretly looked in the direction of Manzun and thought silently in his heart.
"Is it a strange uncle?"
Coincidentally, Xu was looking for his beloved apprentice, and Manzun's eyes were glancing in this direction, and he inadvertently met Thirteen Lang's gaze, and suddenly sparks.
"The young man is good, he is more beautiful than my apprentice!" the thunderous voice of the barbarian resounded in his head. There is nothing around to be aware of.
"You old glass. Thirteen Lang thought secretly.
Between speaking and not speaking, the spiritual light in the flag array flashed, and students had already entered it, and each used his magic power to start fighting.
......
......
The decisive battle is three days. The first day of the competition was mostly a contest between those who had excellent records in the early stage and the vice-generals of each court; according to the regulations, no matter which side wins, they will be directly qualified to enter the inner court. The loser is not without a chance, and can participate in another competition held at the Taoist Academy, and there are still a few supplementary places.
From here, it can be seen how cruel the selection of the inner courtyard of the Daoist Academy is, the main and deputy generals of the twenty-seven branches, adding up to only fifty or so, except for those who have special talents and are specially recruited. Students need to get the top two in their respective branches, but it is still not enough to guarantee their qualifications.
"With such a law and such a procedure, how can the Daoist Academy become the Pure Land that real people think? What is so strange about the Inner Courtyard that it is worth fighting for so much?"
Thirteen Lang looked at the competition on the stage, but his heart was already out of the world, and his expression was quite lonely.
"Aura, treasures, elixirs, materials. According to the famous teacher, in my opinion, these almost cover all the needs of cultivation, except for the slight lack of aura, the outer courtyard has all of them. ”
"So. What else is there in the inner courtyard? Can so many great sects and sects spare no effort, so many monks aspire to care? Is it just for cultivation, or cultivation?"
"Whatever it is. It is a contradiction that a real person wants to build the Taoist Academy into a place of refuge from the world to educate the world, but to set up such an eye-catching inner courtyard. ”...,
"To escape the world should be without desire and without desire, so that people in the world are so desired, how can you escape from the world?"
"Unless ......"
A faint thought flashed through his heart, and Thirteen Lang Huo Ran's eyes widened.
"The Five Thunder Venerables are fighting hard for the position of Purple Cloud Dean, it is impossible for it to be just for a false name. The dean doesn't seem to care about what he does, but in fact he is cautious and cautious. For an old man who doesn't have a long life, it really doesn't make sense. ”
"In the dean's heart, what kind of concern will be more important than Xiaohong!
"No, the Daoist Academy has long been not a Pure Land, and it is impossible for the Dean not to understand this. On the other hand, if the inner court has been selecting talents according to such rules, it will be unimaginably strong, and the head of the outer court can make a decision in a word. Since things have come to such an inextricable point, perhaps one thing can be proven. ”
"The inner court can't interfere with the outer court at all, or because of some kind of agreement, some kind of scruples, they don't dare to interfere!"
"A mere Ziyun real person can't do this, even if he can do it back then, after so much time, it can't be sustained. ”
"Also, everyone in the world knows that there is a distinction between the inner and outer courts, but why have they never seen the people of the inner court appear? Even if there are restrictions on entering the WTO, or some kind of undisclosing oath and other constraints, there should always be a few exceptions for thousands of years. ”
"They...... Where did they go? Where did they go?"
Unconsciously, cold sweat flowed down Shisanro's forehead, and there was an extremely rare look of fear in his eyes.
......
......
"I heard, you don't want to go into the inner courtyard?"
"I think it's nice here, I don't want to change places. ”
"Silence and a corner are not the work of the eldest husband. ”
"The world is dirty, but the scenery here is unique. ”
"This fart is well shot...... If it's for the sake of the Taoist Academy, you don't have to. ”
......
......
The sound is still in my ears, but compared to that time, Thirteen Lang has a completely different feeling.
weishenme, when the old man says that he doesn't have to, there will be a kind of pity, and a relief from the heart.
He is also weishenme, and he will talk to Shisanlang about Xiaohong in advance, and ask him to come once in the future? Could it be that it is really just because of Xiaohong's seal?
Can these mean: The old man didn't want Thirteen Lang to ...... Into the inner courtyard?
Merely. He couldn't tell.
"Who can make his old man have something that he can't say. Thirteen Lang's body trembled violently and fidgeted.
......
......
"Still not right!"
In the midst of the torment, Shisanro thought of something else and couldn't help but cry out.
His mind was tense to the extreme, as if another shijie was opening a crack, and there were countless secret treasures hidden in the world that could not be seen, but there were also more unpredictable crises lurking.
"Suppose that the inner courtyard is a shijie where risks and opportunities coexist, and suppose it is a very strict requirement for birth, so strict that it is unacceptable to those sect veterans. Still doesn't explain another problem. ”
"What are they trying to do with so many students over the years?"
"How could they be willing to lose a lot of resources, even the best children of the sect, and go to that unknowable place!"
An inadvertent cuff. It brought so many chaotic thoughts, and Thirteen Lang himself did not expect it. At this time, he had an impulse to immediately find the dean and question him, and ask in detail what all this was for, or what it came from.
That's a joke, of course.
Chasing the wind and shadows, how can he spit out of his mouth if he doesn't even catch the wind and shadows. Thirteen Lang could conclude that he was not the only one who had such doubts, but even those sect leaders and family elders. It is also impossible to know the details. ...,
Otherwise, no matter how secret things are, they will inevitably reveal a little bit and eventually become known to the world.
As for how they would be so willing, so sparing no effort to infiltrate the Daoist Academy, and even not hesitating to go along with the Five Thunders to subvert the Dao, there was obviously another twist and turn. Not to mention Thirteen Lang such a thing, even ordinary teachers are unlikely to be qualified to know, let alone hundreds of millions of ordinary monks and the vast number of Taoist students.
"That's not right. Definitely not. Thirteen Lang's face was gloomy and he muttered to himself.
"What's wrong? Mengmeng played very well!" Liu Ruoyi asked curiously.
......
......
As Liu Ruoyi said, Yan Meng played well.
The serpent on her chest was not just a symbol, but a real supernatural power. At this moment, in the flag array, a giant snake dozens of feet long and white is opening its mouth. swallowed Yan Meng's opponent with a sword into his belly, causing bursts of exclamations from the surroundings.
It's not that I'm afraid of the snake. Rather, she is afraid of people who play with snakes, especially when she is a delicate girl and looks harmless in the slightest.
"It's not a pet. Thirteen Lang was not fully awake yet, and said subconsciously.
"Of course it's not a beast pet, otherwise you're going to die. ”
Liu Ruoyi laughed and said: "Although Dabi can't help but live and die, those who have dealt with each other know each other and will not easily kill them." ”
Thirteen Lang nodded, he had already noticed the identity of the monk who was fighting with Yan Meng, and asked strangely, "Why don't you decide the winner yet?"
Liu Ruoyi replied suspiciously: "How can you decide the winner now?" This is just a magic power, just like a formation that traps the opponent, as long as he can break out of the body, it can't be regarded as a defeat." ”
Thirteen Lang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Liu Ruoyi said worriedly: "Brother Xiao is not in good spirits, do you want to ......?"
"I'm fine. ”
Sensing the different expressions of several people around him, Thirteen Lang hurriedly dispelled the distracting thoughts that were still circling in his mind, and said seriously: "I have seen the magic power of the law, it doesn't seem to be so powerful. ”
Jia Ke said: "That depends on the strength of the beast soul used in the condensation method, and the soul of the snake of Senior Sister Yan Meng is given by the barbarian, and it cannot be the same as the ordinary beast soul." ”
Beast Soul, Law Phase?
Thirteen Lang suddenly thought of something, took out a bag from his arms, and asked casually: "It sounds like this magic power is very powerful." ”
The two of them laughed in unison, and they both had a layer of understanding of Shisanlang in their hearts, and they both secretly thought that no matter how talented Xiao Shisanlang was, the foundation was not solid enough, at least this insight was far beyond the reach of all disciples.
Liu Ruoyi sighed and said: "The art of the law is not a supernatural power strictly speaking, but an unattainable realm. The monk condenses the Dharma with his own primordial spirit, and he is the existence of transcending the gods, and he is a real peerless figure. ”
Shisanlang was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Don't ask, the cute girl is a copycat version." ”
Liu Ruoyi also laughed and said, "Brother Xiao's analogy...... It's funny. ”
As he spoke, the swallowed student on the stage couldn't bear it, and sent out his thoughts through the snake, and Yan Meng immediately lifted his supernatural powers, which also meant that the Eighth Branch won the battle.
The figures on the stage were divided into two points, and the audience was clamoring, and the students applauded this beautiful woman who danced with snakes and brought everyone alternative enjoyment. Everyone on the hillside also applauded, and it happened that Yan Meng was looking here, although he was not lightly tired, his expression was full of joy and he was very complacent.
Only Shisanlang was silent, holding the jade slip given by the woman of the Heavenly Wolf Clan in his hand, a little distracted.
"It's just a practice, how can she be so cautious?"
