Chapter 23 Taiyue Cloud Palace, the House of Representatives

The Zibei Mountains, spanning Kang and Wu, stretching for thousands of miles, are one of the 100,000 world-famous mountains in the two world-famous places in the Holy Divine Prefecture.

There is a fairy gate in the mountains, called "Twelve Sects".

The location of the twelve sects is only a corner of the mountains.

A corner of the big, far beyond the county, there are twelve strange peaks listed, such as the crouching tiger, such as the coiled snake, such as the leaping fish, such as the bird's song, such as the fairy sword towering, such as the spear pointing to the sky, such as the giant axe falling to the ground, such as the divine knife slanted, such as the ancient cirrus cloud fossil fall mortal, such as the divine order towering into the clouds, such as the gourd to the ground......

There is nothing more miraculous than this.

In the middle of the twelve strange peaks, there is a huge mountain through the sky, through the clouds, the mountain root is wide, you can't see the edge, just like the mythical "Buzhou Mountain" in general.

Tongtian Juyue, the name is "Taiyue", it is the ancestral court of the twelve sects, during which the strange flowers and plants, the Milky Way waterfall is everywhere, the crane soars into the sky, the divine fish swims in the air, and the dragon and snake are seen in the clouds, such as the fairy mountain of mythology.

The pavilions, pavilions, golden palaces, and green palaces on the mountain are innumerable, and the scales are row upon row, and they fall between the white mist of the fairy mountain, just like the dwelling place of the immortals.

Above the clouds, the top of the giant mountain, such as being cut by the sword of the immortals, smooth and flat, there is a magnificent palace, the snake that has appeared in the admission ceremony, the green tiger, the red bird, the divine fish, are divided into east and west, north and south, and they also look short in front of this palace.

In the palace, it is empty and lofty, even the blue jade stone pillar that supports the top is as big as a giant tree, as soon as you enter the palace door, you can see a huge stone statue that seems to be the sun above the head, the clothes are fluttering, lifelike, the face is covered by the top of the palace through the sun, but it can still make the people who look up feel that he is smiling, such as the elderly, such as the teacher.

It's also a Taoist statue, but it's not much taller than the one on the top of the top platform, I don't know how many times, it's a long and upright shape, and it seems to be holding something in your hands.

"The sect master is still in retreat, and this year's conference will be presided over by senior brother and me."

In the center of the palace is a round table of twelve stones, unpretentious, which seems to be incompatible with this magnificent and splendid fairy palace, where twelve monks of extraordinary grace gather. Among them, the leader has three long beards under his chin, a thin figure, wearing a neat cyan robe, and a black gourd hanging from his waist.

"Senior brother, hurry up and finish, I still have to cultivate. This recruits new people every year, holds meetings every year, and that's all there is to it, what does it mean? ”

Twelve people sat around the table, the palace was solemn, but they didn't look like a meeting, but like chatting about family life. One of them, the ape-armed, eagle-eyed man sat down and said with some impatience.

Just looking at his expression, he showed a look of pride. Especially when I see a few other people who don't have very good faces, the smiles on their faces are about to bloom.

"Senior Brother Xuan Ce, I know that you robbed a Netherworld Immortal Body, and I know that you are now proud. But please restrain yourself, otherwise I will set fire to your Jianmen Courtyard. ”

A woman with skin as white as snow and lips as red as fire spoke. She was wearing a black robe, the sleeves of the robe were embroidered with red flame patterns, and the whole person was as enchanting as a flame in the night, but it exuded a dangerous heat.

This is the dean of the Bird Singing Academy, the Xuan Burning Fairy.

"Sister Xuanyan, my sister supports you in this matter. If Senior Brother Xuan Ce stops you, my sister will help you. ”

The only other woman present also spoke, her eyebrows were like Yuandai, her posture was bright, compared to the beauty of the Xuan Burning Fairy, she was a mature charm, between words and laughter, graceful demeanor, reminiscent of the word "goddess".

This woman also made a move when she snatched the immortal body, and it was the dean of the Daomen Academy who came from the west with a knife and destroyed the formation with a sword - the Xuanxi Fairy.

"Two junior sisters, don't."

Xuan Ce Zhenjun looked embarrassed when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the others.

"Senior brother, don't look at me, my Heaven-shaking Courtyard has found nothing this time, your Immortal Hu, Arrow Gate, Tiger Body, Shield Gate, and Xuanyun Senior Brother's Ethereal Courtyard all have Dao bodies and immortal bodies, so they are naturally proud. If it weren't for my senior brother and I to practice Buddhism, God has the virtue of a good life, and I will burn your Jianmen Courtyard with Xuan Yan and Xuan Se. ”

Master Xuanji of the Heaven-Shaking Academy clasped his hands together and said with a compassionate smile.

"Hey, hey."

Xuan Ce Zhenjun shrugged his eyebrows, but instead smiled proudly.

The Xuanyi True Monarch of the Immortal Hu Courtyard, the Xuanbing True Monarch of the Tiger Courtyard and the Xuanwu True Monarch of the Shield Gate Courtyard all smiled and said nothing. Only the sloppy Xuanyun Zhenren of the Ethereal Courtyard grabbed the messy hair like a chicken nest and smirked: "I am the arrangement of the old sect master, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it." ”

"Humph! Senior Brother Xuanyun, don't speak, your Ethereal Courtyard has always been sparsely populated, and the inheritance is special, you deserve this Battle Immortal Seed, I can't wait for you Ethereal Courtyard. ”

The Xuan Snake of the Snake Spirit Courtyard snorted coldly and said to Xuanyun Zhenren. It's just that the eyes are floating towards the four senior brothers such as Xianhu and Jianmen, and the meaning is self-evident.

Then Xuan Snake Zi turned his gaze and looked at the dean of the Fu Ling Academy, Xuan Yi Zhenren, who had been with the old god, and asked coldly: "And you, Senior Brother Xuan Yi, I heard that you went out to travel and secretly brought back a four-dimensional body, yes or no?" ”

"What?! Four-dimensional? ”

The rest of the crowd was shocked and looked at the very low-key looking Xuan Zhen person.

The Four Elephant Yuan Body, which is even rarer than the Liangyi Battle Body, has a unique talent advantage on the way to Taoism.

"I can't hide anything from Senior Brother Xuan Snake's snake path."

Xuan Yi Zhenren smiled bitterly at Xuan Snake, he was mediocre in appearance and had no sense of existence, but he spoke softly, not like a Taoist priest, but like an elegant scholar.

Xuan Snake Zi spoke again, his voice was gloomy and cold, with a hissing resonance like a snake, staring at a few of them: "Heh, it's not just you, Senior Brother Xuan, you Zhentian Courtyard Bai Zhong is in the vein, and there are also three junior brothers of Xuanwu, Xuanbing, and Xuance, your student disciples are widely spread all over the world, and they are all related to the courts and militaries of the southeastern countries, and they have already secretly collected a lot of good seedlings, right?" Especially the Xuanwu junior brother, although your Dunmen Academy is only rated as one of the four middle schools by the students, but the Dunmen is unique in China, and the students who come out of the Dunmen Academy are all the soldiers of various countries who are fighting for the battle, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials even have a great reputation in the north, and they are not worried about their livelihood. ”

"What?!"

"You guys, you scum!! Especially the three of you, Xuan Ce, Xuan Bing, and Xuan Wu! has a source of life, and even robs the immortal body with other brothers and sisters, not a son of man! ”

The rest of the crowd was furious when they heard this, including Xuanyi Zhenren.

"Damn, junior brother, I'm not going to do it! Senior brothers, Senior Brother Xuanyi, are you so even? Now our twelve sects, regardless of the battle cultivation, the way of art, and the imperial spirit, on the contrary, the gap between the upper, middle and lower is getting bigger and bigger, every year, if this continues, my Yuyue Academy will simply disband. Two senior sisters and Xuan Shang junior brothers, you also talk about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Xuan Luozi, the dean of Yuyue Academy, has short hair in a black robe, looks like a teenager, not like the dean of the Xuanzi generation, but like a teenage student, and has a similar personality, quite impatient, slapping the table and shouting.

"Hehe, senior brothers, if you don't give a charter today, we won't follow it."

The two female deans of Xuanse and Xuanyan glanced at each other, and the Xuanse fairy smiled slightly, which was full of amorous feelings, but it made the other senior brothers feel a sense of coldness.

There are only villains and women in this world, and it is difficult to raise.

These are two ancestors, not easy to mess with, not easy to mess with.

There is also a Xuanshang real person of the Jianmen Academy on the side, he is the little junior brother of the Xuanzi generation, the face is like a crown of jade, the grace is handsome, and the appearance and age are the closest to Xuanluozi, at this time, I don't know where to take out a pot of wine, take a sip, and should be harmonious and said: "That is, my Jianmen Academy has no talent for thousands of years, and the students under the door go out to practice, and they are often laughed at as a third-rate sword vein." Senior brothers, the same twelve sects, how can you bear it, if you don't give me an immortal body today, I won't do it anymore! ”

"Eh, hehe, okay, okay, don't mess around, junior brothers and sisters, let's sit down and ...... slowly."

"What's the nonsense?! Senior Brother Xuanyi, you are a senior brother, so unfair! No, we have to call the suzerain to come out and administer justice! ”

"That's right! Tell the sect master to come out of the customs! We also want the Immortal Dao Body! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xuanyi Zhenren happily stood up and wanted to play a round, not wanting to speak inappropriately, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was overwhelmed by the excitement of the crowd.

"Hey, hey, everyone, everyone, everyone!"

"Senior brother said wrong, how about listening to senior brother?"

"Silence! Senior Brother Xuanluozi, you put your feet down! Senior Sister Xuanse, please insert the knife back. And you! Senior Brother Xuan, put away your wine! This is the Zongdian, what kind of system are you drinking and scolding?! Hey, don't scream, in this class of students, there is a Ximen shaker from Wu Guolai, and you yourself went to the west of Kangguo to collect a little girl from the Murong clan of the kendo family, and the two ninth-rank demons are all practicing swords, you are two ironclad seeds, cultivate them well, no worse than the immortal body! What Luofu Mountain? I don't care what kind of sword path Sanshan it is, and he has entered my Twelve Sects, and he is the reincarnation of the Twelve Sects! ”

"For my brother to know! Okay, okay, okay, all sit down and say... Shut up and listen to me! ”

After some noisy commotion, after all, it was Xuanyi Zhenren who showed the majesty of the senior brother, reluctantly suppressed the scene, and began to hold a meeting in a serious manner.

"The immortal body and the Dao body have their own fate, since the courtyards have been decided, I won't say more! But as the sect master and his old man said, the great world is coming, and the dragon and snake rise together. In addition to the immortal body and Dao body in this session, the genius demons of the eighth and ninth ranks are also several times higher than in previous years. Looking at the performance of asking the immortal road this time, there are also many talented people among the other students, these are immortal seeds, and the future immortal path can be expected, regardless of high or low. At the same time, it is also the hope of our sect for the future, and I hope that you will teach well in the future, and you will not slack off. ”

"As for the distribution of students, although it is to let the students choose freely, but the senior disciple of Xuanluozi is right, our twelve sects, from ancient times to the present, share weal and woe, and should go to the immortal path together, and support each other in terms of inheritance."

"So this year, as in previous years, no more than 40 people can be admitted to each sect. However, in view of the special circumstances of this year, in order to maintain the good competition and complementarity of the sect in the future, I have set two more rules: first, the door will be closed when the number of students is full, and no other trials will be set up, and merit-based admission will be conducted. The second is to pay attention to the control of the four courtyards of Xianhu, Jianmen, Huju, and Zhentian, and not to take all the geniuses and demons, and guide the students who conform to the exercises of each academy to choose other courtyards, and try to balance the quality of the students of the twelve academies, so that all the academies ......can prosper together."

"In the end, Senior Brother still nagged, we are the Twelve Sects, not the Twelve Sects. What can students evaluate, we are not divided into upper, middle and lower, the fairy road is long, there are gods and demons blocking the way, and there are demons and ghosts coveting, we should be like the twelve patriarchs, work together to inherit the Tao! ”

"The Terrans are immortal!"

"Humanity Yongchang!"

The last twelve people stood up, facing the statue of the Taoist master, and solemnly swore an oath.

"Ahem, junior brothers, senior brother has one more thing to say."

Just when everyone was about to end the meeting, Xuan Yizhen hesitated, coughed twice and then stopped everyone, and said: "This, cultivating an immortal spiritual root is important, but the heart and perseverance are more important, so when we admit students in each college, we can't just look at the spiritual root." Since they are all students who have entered the mountain, they should be treated equally, don't chill the hearts of individual students, and don't develop bad mental concepts for other students. ”

"Senior Brother Xuanyi, don't beat around the bush, you're talking about those two rare waste bodies, right?"

Xuance Zhenjun of the Arrow Gate Courtyard sneered disdainfully.

"Hehe, one first-class, one second-class, the abolished prince, the absurd son, it is a perfect match, it is better for you to enter the Xianhu Courtyard, senior brother. With such a pride in the immortal sect, we are really limited in ability and powerless. ”

The Tiger Courtyard Xuanbing Zhenjun said jokingly, but obviously refused.

"Humph! Senior brother, don't blame the junior brother for speaking ugly, these two wastes, whoever likes to accept them, I don't accept them! ”

Xuanluozi had a stalk in his neck and spoke directly.

"Amitabha, the Buddha has a fate, but these two have nothing to do with the Buddha."

Master Xuanji of the Heaven-Shaking Academy folded his hands together with a sad expression.

"Senior brother, didn't my junior sister say that you, our twelve sects lack that little resource? What the hell is this? I'm not afraid of other immortals laughing. ”

The Xuanyi Burning Fairy of the Bird Ming Courtyard looked at Xuanyi Zhenren with a disgusted expression.

"Senior brother, there is one thing to say, I am waiting for the way of cultivating immortals, although it is not possible to look at the spiritual root, understanding, heart, and perseverance can all be asked, and even some people have a deep immortal relationship, and they have their own adventures, and it is not strange to change their lives against the sky. But it's an ordinary person above the fourth rank, right? These two children, alas, I think it is better to be repatriated and return home, and it is better to be rich and free for a lifetime than hopeless. ”

"Yes, senior brother, I think you're misleading people's children. Look at the reputation of these two people, the abolition of the prince and the absurdity. One is born stupid, cowardly, and a first-class waste; A man of absurd nature, acting excessively, and a second-class waste. Don't look at me, before I came here just now, I was curious about why the statue of the Taoist master would manifest, and I went to see these two people, which really deserved its reputation. The spiritual root is mixed to such an unbelievable level, what kind of immortal is it cultivating? They have been extremely poor all their lives, and they can't even cultivate their naΓ―ve qi, do you believe it or not? ”

Others also expressed their refusal to accept Wang Cheng and Ji Qixian, and instead blamed Xuanyi Zhenren.

"Senior brother, don't look at us, although we are at the bottom of the Daomen Courtyard, the Ethereal Courtyard, and the Yuyue Courtyard of the Xuanluozi Senior Disciple all the year round, we don't accept everyone."

Seeing that Xuanyi Zhenren's gaze moved to her and Xuanyun Zhenren, the Xuanxi Fairy shook her head busily, and even took a step back very seriously, refusing all over her body.

"Senior Brother Xuanyi, you know the inheritance of the Ethereal Academy, and it is better to lack than to excess. Besides, they can't break through the 'Heavenly Gate Array' of the Ethereal Courtyard. ”

Xuanyun Zhenren smiled bitterly, but he didn't refuse.

It's just that the way Ethereal Academy admits students is different from that of other eleven academies, and you can just break through the battle without asking about the spiritual root. But this "Tianmen Array" is extremely special, it is said that if you want to pass the test, in addition to the inhuman perseverance, it is also related to the immortal luck in the underworld, and the disciples who can get started are either blockbuster wizards, or obscure until they die of old age.

Obviously, Xuanyun Zhenren didn't think that Wang Cheng and Ji Qixian could break through the "Gate of Heaven", the two of them didn't even dare to ask the fairy road, how could they break through the "Heavenly Gate Array" that was thousands of times more difficult than asking the fairy road?

"Okay, okay, let's go back and prepare first, if it doesn't work, let's draw lots. In short, those who enter my 12 sects are the students of my 12 sects, and as long as they don't violate the rules of the sect, there is no such thing as repatriation. ”

In the end, the helpless Xuanyi Zhenren announced the dismissal of the meeting, looking at the juniors and sisters who were happily leaving, with a haggard appearance that had broken their hearts, and sat at the stone table without saying a word for a long time.

"Master, the apprentice is going down the mountain, and I am here to ask for a token to enter and exit the formation."

In the middle of the night, a green-robed Taoist priest entered the hall, with a topaz gourd pinned to his waist, his face was expressionless, as if someone else owed him money, it was the real person of Huangshan in Xianhuyuan.

"Oh, it's Huangshan."

Xuan Yizhen glanced at his apprentice, his eyes flashed, he smiled, and asked, "Is it for the girl who asked for medicine today?" ”

"Yes."

Huangshan is a real person.

"You, your face is cold and your heart is hot, you really want to accept apprentices?"

"Yes."

Xuanyi Zhenren knew this apprentice of his very well, and he saw through Huangshan Zhenren's plan at a glance, and Huangshan Zhenren didn't say much, and answered one by one, like a piece of wood.

"There are so many eighth-rank and ninth-rank geniuses and demons this year, you have taken a fancy to this seventh-rank one?"

"Master once said that cultivating immortals, the spiritual root is only to ascend to the sky, whether you can walk up or not, the most important thing is the heart, understanding and perseverance. The sect master also said that the human heart is better than the sky, and the question lies in the heart. The disciple felt that this little girl named Dong Shimei had more immortal potential than others. ”

"Haha, you remember those words. So, why don't you take the two with the lowest qualifications by the way? ”

Xuanyi's real eyes rolled, and he joked half-truthfully.

"Minimum qualifications? The Waste Prince and the Absurd Son? Master, don't embarrass the disciples, these two, these two ......"

Huangshan Zhenren looked frightened, held back for a long time, and finally blushed and held back a sentence: "Master forgives sins, the disciples are incompetent, and they can't teach these two people." ”

"Okay, tease you. Go, go early and come back early, remember to prepare for tomorrow's recruitment, don't make mistakes. Oh yes, has the Taoist statue been repaired? ”

Xuan Yizhen smiled and waved his hand, remembered the broken statue of the Taoist master again, and asked.

"Master, the Tiangong Hall has been restored. However, after inspection, we found that the core of the stone statue formation rune seal was not damaged, and it has not yet been found out what caused the destruction of the stone statue. As for that Wang Cheng, the disciple also checked it himself, except for the spiritual roots, it was mediocre, and it could even be said to be very weak, and he didn't even have the ability to destroy the statue of the Taoist master. There is also the immortal, which makes the apprentice even more uncertain, it looks just a little better than Wang Cheng, and there is no protective treasure on his body, he was hit by the Taoist statue, but he was unscathed. ”

Huangshan Zhenren reported truthfully, with deep doubts on his face, and he looked like he couldn't figure it out.

"The teacher also saw it, just like you, I was confused and couldn't see the reason. I'm afraid I have to ask the sect master about his old man, but since the sect master and Uncle Kunkun have not reacted, it shouldn't be a big deal, don't worry about it for now. ”

Xuanyi Zhenren thought about something, suddenly sighed, and ordered: "By the way, speaking of this, alas, tomorrow's students' choice of the academy, if these two people really don't want it in the end, they will be admitted to our Xianhu Courtyard first." ”

"Huh?"

The real people of Huangshan can't believe it, when did the Xianhu Courtyard, which is famous all over the world and the head of the House of Representatives, even have to take in this kind of garbage?

"Ah what, go quickly, go back quickly, don't delay."

Xuanyi Zhenren impatiently threw a jade plaque to Huangshan Zhenren and drove him out, and then sat there with a sad face, and said to himself: "Alas, the gods and demons knock on the level, the demons and ghosts lurk, and the immortal road is full of murderous opportunities." The emperor is not out, Shenzhou is restless, am I easy? Do you really think it's just for that little jade mine and medicine field? Whether it's Kandi or Yue Jun, there are disputes in the world, and I hope that someone will unify them as soon as possible. ”

"But these guys are really rich, tsk, it's really the efficiency of the human court, otherwise Shenzhou is vast, just rely on me and wait for the immortal gate to explore, and there is no need to cultivate."

"Well, it's a good deal! These two waste materials were not harvested in vain. ”
