Chapter 213: In front of the Green Pine Temple, the Apprenticeship Ceremony
Falling Goose City.
Green Pine View.
Green bricks and blue tiles, red pheasants and white platforms.
Under the high wall, there is a large square with a radius of dozens of zhang.
Outside the square, a white line demarcated the boundary, so that the people watching the excitement outside the venue crowded outside the white line, but no one dared to cross the boundary.
Although the green pine view is not as good as those famous mountain resorts, but it is also in the Luoyan City has more than 70 years of experience, the "green pine view master" is said to be a body of superior mana, is the real abandonment of the world into the Tao of the 'immortal', and even has the ability to 'walk against the wind', even the city lord has to be respectful, the people of the city are naturally more awe-inspiring.
However, in this awe, in addition to the respect for the masters who have achieved cultivation, there is also a bit of indescribable fear.
Just look at those people, although they squeezed out to see the excitement at this time, but none of them dared to put their toes on the white line.
And in the middle of the square, a man in a robe and white beard stood on a high platform, not caring about the eyes of those foolish men and women, just closing his eyes slightly, pinching a trick in his hand, and chanting words in his mouth.
The three attendants in front of him knelt on their knees, their hands above the top, and in their palms was a half-zhang long incense candle, which had not yet been lit.
Behind him, there is a large furnace, four-legged, in which the furnace ash has accumulated, which is obviously very historical.
I saw that the Taoist robe man was at this time, the formula in his hand, the words in his mouth were finished, and he suddenly waved his hand, and the incense candles in the hands of the three people moved without wind, and with the movements in the hands of the Taoist robe, one by one flew into the furnace behind him.
The three handymen had completed their current task, and immediately stood up and stood respectfully aside, while the man in the robe turned around and bowed, bowed, and bowed to the incense burner:
"Preach to the world, and respect heaven and earth!
"Open the door and open the view, the second respect to the mountain gate!
"Teach the apprentice, and then respect the teacher!
"The three rites have passed, the pawnshop!"
And with the three bows of the white-bearded man in this robe, the three pillars of high incense in the incense burner were also lit one by one, such a wonderful scene attracted the exclamation of the people watching the excitement outside the venue, and also made the eyes of one of the people colorful.
"Interesting, it's definitely not a trick or a trick, these sticks of incense are really lit. Just now my 'Divine Thoughts' caught a bit of a strange fluctuation...... Could it be that this is the source of the extraordinary power of this world?
And the movement of his fingers and the words that had deliberately dripped out the sound, and the moment his lips ended, the movements of his fingers also happened to end, and at that moment, that strange fluctuation became the maximum...... Could this be the way the world casts spells? Pinch the charm and chant the spell?
"At the moment, I have only sensed the strange fluctuations, and there is no way to use them accurately - but I have completely recorded the twitching of the muscles of this person's face, as well as the subtle movements of the fingers, and I can deduce the way this 'spell' is released in reverse...... I just don't know if there are other elements that need to be introduced to cause that kind of bizarre fluctuation......"
Xi Gu thought about it like this, but the Taoist robes on the stage had already spoken out to everyone outside the arena:
"Today is the new phase of the Qingsong Guan Disciple Ceremony, I am the protector of the Dharma in the view of the Muyuan Taoist, in accordance with the will of the Lord to open the door to teach the disciples, anyone who is interested can come here to test the root bones, if you can enter the Tao, you can enter my view, you have to cultivate the immortal family exercises, enjoy the blessing of eternal life!"
At this point, many people outside the venue suddenly faintly stirred, Xi Gu secretly looked behind him, and many people had intention in their eyes.
Xi Gu remembered what "Bao inquired" said, and raised his eyebrows slightly-the information of "Qingsong Guan's apprenticeship has a problem" can be asked for a few dozen taels of silver, which should be a secret in Luoyan City, but it is not a particularly deep secret, why did none of the people around show a suspicious expression.
But as soon as the divine thought moved, the radius of twenty-three zhang could already cover most of the surrounding people, and Xi Gu clearly "saw" from the divine thoughts like a high-definition camera, among the onlookers, those people who were boiling and happy on the surface, many of them were under the regular clothes of coarse linen, but the lining inside was the same material as the lining of the handymen next to the Taoist robe on the stage, and he immediately understood the reason.
“…… Is it the 'plainclothes' nuclear 'group performance' of the Green Pine Temple, maintaining order here? ”
In an instant, the confidence level of what "Bao Inquire" said in Xi Gu's heart rose from 70% to 95%.
In addition, he also found that outside the crowd of onlookers, there were many pedestrians who passed by secretly with their heads down, as if they were avoiding trouble, and their expressions were averted.
So the credibility of that information went up a few percentage points again.
Of course, there are indeed some people in the crowd who are really moved by the words of the people in the robe, and they don't seem to be 'group performers' or 'plainclothes', but in the observation of Shen Nian, some of these people are like merchants passing through Luoyan City, and some look ignorant, and they are not very well-informed about local news.
"It seems that this green pine temple has been 'killed' many times in Luoyan City, and now it is mainly dominated by people from outside the pit and reckless.
"But...... Isn't that just right? ”
Xi Gu smiled slightly, and took a step forward when everyone else was faintly commotion, but no one stepped forward.
But at this moment, a clear voice came from behind him-
"Dao Chief, I'm coming!"
……
Luoyan City, the city lord's mansion.
The mansion has a high-rise building, about five zhang high, with a radius of more than ten zhang.
On the top of the tall building, you can overlook the scenery of the city, please visit the birds as guests, and watch the white clouds in the sky.
In the past, the lord of Luoyan City often invited his subordinates to come here for a gathering, and the lights were bright at night, and under the dozens of ever-bright lamps fueled by mermaid oil, he invited famous actors to accompany the guests, let the dancers accompany the dancers, and danced for a night, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
However, today, Lin Yuanjiang, the lord of Luoyan City, was followed by a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, as well as the most trusted retinue in several mansions, quietly took the stage, and looked at the southeast side of the city, on the square where the door was opened for the apprenticeship, and his tone was a little grim.
“…… The old man in the green pine temple is recruiting apprentices again. ”
"Is my father worried that he will interfere with Wild Goose City? That person didn't know what kind of exercises to practice, and since the biennial apprenticeship ceremony, every time it passed, the disciples who started would not hear from him...... It's hard to guess. ”
The bright-eyed girl next to her looked in the direction of Qingsongguan, with deep vigilance in her eyes.
"I'm not worried about Luoyan City, I'm worried about you, Ying'er."
Lin Yuanjiang glanced at the girl worriedly, and sighed:
"You are talented, born with the 'Six Divisions of the Dao', you have practiced so far, and then you have been valued by the elders of the Xiaguang Sect, and you are only sixteen years old in the door, and you have already cultivated the fourth layer of Qi cultivation, and it is very likely that you will plant the Fa in the future, cultivate the Dharma Fetus, and even become a true person who builds the foundation is not impossible. Although I have a ninth-level Qi cultivation, I am only a deacon of the outer gate of the Xiaguang Gate, and because of the power within the gate, I was exiled as the lord of a secular city, and I am entangled in the filth of the world, even in the face of monks in the same realm, I am incapable of being an enemy, and there is no possibility of stepping into the realm of the Dharma in this life.
“…… The Lord of the Green Pine also knew that you had the 'Six Divisions', and he had been eyeing you since you were a child, and told me many times that he wanted to take you as an apprentice, and that he had been persecuted day by day. Fortunately, Elder Xue took a fancy to you and accepted you as her own inheritance—she also has a kind of Dharma realm, which can resist the pressure brought by the Lord of the Green Pine Sect. However, on the surface, Qingsong Lao'er has regressed, but secretly I have always felt that he still pays attention to you, and he has not given up in his heart......"
Speaking of this, Lin Yuanjiang glanced at the girl, and in the end, there was only one deep sentence.
“…… Ying'er, even if you abandon your life as a father, you will be protected! ”
Lin Yuanjiang's voice was heavy, but Lin Ying'er not only had no fear in her eyes, but also had a confident and high-spirited temperament:
"Father doesn't have to worry so much. I have the care of my master, and I have the care of my master, even if the Lord of the Green Pine Temple is a cultivator, he can't do anything to me—and my father is the lord of a city, if the Lord of the Green Pine Temple has a plan, isn't he afraid of the wrath of the dynasty? ”
"Alas, alas......"
For his daughter who is so confident and seems to feel that he is alarmist, Lin Yuanjiang can only sigh constantly:
"The cultivators of the Dharma, even if they are only a palm in the Xiaguang Gate, one of them even has a grudge against the people I used to be attached to. Although my reliance has fallen, I am afraid that the resentment is still there...... Moreover, Elder Xue once made it clear to me that the Qingsong Guan Lord has a deep inner connotation, and once it breaks out, even she may not be able to defeat it, but it is only because the surrounding cities are controlled by the Xiaguang Gate and they are afraid that they will not make a move. Although you have a unique Dao talent, Xiaguangmen will not offend a living master of the cultivation method for the sake of a dead good talent—so...... Don't trust the protection of the teacher too much.
“…… And the Dayan Dynasty, if the royal family did not fall in the past, and the Miaoyu Patriarchal Xiangzhen did not leave the National Teacher's Mansion, there may still be a little deterrent. But now that the state capital is self-reliant, and the Immortal Dao Sect is watching coldly, Yan Guo seems to be about to become history. A monk like the Lord of Qingsong Guan is rampant, unless there is a kind of law peak, and even a real person who builds the foundation makes a move, who can make him jealous? ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yuanjiang sighed again.
“…… Ying'er, cherish yourself! ”
"I see."
In the face of her father's earnest guidance, Lin Ying'er finally put away her previous self-confidence and replied in a low voice:
"My daughter knows."
“…… That's it. ”
Lin Yuanjiang couldn't bear to be too harsh on his most cherished daughter, nodded and swallowed back more words.
Turning his head and looking at the scene of the 'Apprenticeship Ceremony' in front of Qingsong Temple, the next moment, the situation that appeared in the scene made him and Lin Ying'er can't help but let out a light "huh", and a faint shock appeared in their eyes!
