Chapter 107, Introduction to the Three Oaths
As soon as the purple-clothed old man's words came out, everyone in the hall looked stunned, revealing a look of interest.
Like those who left before, everyone also had great expectations for the fifth test of Xinglin Villa.
However, the competition is basically over at this point, and the remaining few people are the best among them. So, what is the remaining fifth test?
Everyone couldn't imagine it, so everyone looked at the old man in purple, and they were even more curious, even if they had always been arrogant like the young man in purple, or the young man in green shirt who had always been indifferent.
"Hehe......"
Seeing everyone's eyes, the old man in purple knew what they were thinking, smiled slightly, didn't sell much, and waved his hand back.
"Wow!"
In the shocked eyes of everyone, the wall behind the ancient hall suddenly "clicked......clicked" and slowly cracked, revealing a new dark hall.
The dark hall is only a few feet in circumference, the cigarette smoke is around, and the inside is upright, and a simple statue is placed, based on white jade, and cast in bronze.
The shape of the statue is the appearance of an old man with a fairy wind and a bright spirit, surrounded by white cranes, surrounded by green trees, and three apricot blossoms between his fingers.
"What is this?"
Everyone was stunned, a little unclear, and looked at the old man in purple, who smiled slightly and explained to everyone:
"This is the statue of the patriarch of our school, Mr. Dong Feng Dong Junyi, legend has it that he studied medicine as a young man, traveled the world, and did not take money or materials for treatment, but those who were cured of their illness needed to be in the mountains behind him. The light one is planted with one apricot, and the heavy one is planted with five apricots. A few years later, there were 10,000 apricots, and they became forests. Thus, the name of Xinglin Villa came from this. ”
"The rules of this fifth level of assessment are...... Under the patriarch, he dissected his heart and made a vow.
First, you must not violate the name of Xinglin Medicine for the rest of your life, and second, you must not deviate from the heart of Xinglin Villa for the rest of your life; and third. You can't use the skills you learned from Aungicot Grove Villa for the rest of your life. For the sake of bringing disaster to the world, and amassing money violently, it is not permissible to harm the life of a single person.
Otherwise, you will not die well. After death, he will go to hell. Forever and forever!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned. I didn't expect this fifth level to be really simple, but it is actually the most difficult level.
Medical Taoism. After tasting the sweetness of many people, they eventually became self-respecting and became butchers of the world.
Not only that, but who in this audience dares to claim that they have come all their lives to study medicine?
Many people may be confused by the fame of Xinglin Villa, there are also people who are purely for the sake of learning the superb Danshu of Xinglin Villa, and there are even more people who are just for the money, identity, status, and reputation that medical skills can bring them...... And everything that comes after, is it really for the sake of helping the world and saving people?
These three vows are simple to make, but they are difficult to do, everyone looks at each other, but no one comes forward for a while.
The old man in purple seemed to have expected this kind of scene, and he didn't urge, but his expression became serious for the first time, and he said indifferently:
"This is the fifth test of the five exams of Xinglin, which is the easiest level, but also the most difficult level. What do you want to learn when you want to enter my Xinglin Villa? What do you want to do after you finish studying? If in the future, there is something you can do, but for various reasons, you don't want to do it, do you remember the vow you made today?"
"So, as I said before, this fifth level is just a cutscene, but it is also the most important test to torture your own heart. ”
"I don't care what you're here for, you have different interests, but...... Make these three vows, and you will act according to them for the rest of your life, and if you don't want to, you can leave now, and there is still time, and we will not stop you!"
After speaking, he looked at everyone with blazing eyes, passed the expressions on everyone's faces, and then lowered his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and waited quietly.
In the silence, there was silence, and the eight people lowered their heads in unison, thinking quietly, in order to enter the Xinglin Villa, is it worth making these three vows?
After all, although the vow can be fake, if it is made and broken in the future, others may not know it, but can it escape from one's own heart?
Finally, Shui Xue was the first to raise her head, and the hesitation and confusion on her face had completely disappeared, because she had already discovered that her life's vow was exactly like this, so why bother thinking too much, and her heart was calm.
Without hesitation, she strode forward, crossed the crowd, and came to the small hall, where an alchemist of Xinglin Villa glanced at her appreciatively, and then handed over three incense sticks.
Ignited, bowed, bowed three times, and swore without any sound, but anyone could see the devotion in her heart.
The eyes of the purple-clothed old man couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, and his gaze fell on the blue-clothed figure who slowly retreated and calmly walked towards the crowd, and he was relieved.
With the leader, finally, the second figure appeared, and it turned out to be the beautiful girl who was dressed in white and had always been like a cloud mist.
Acting exactly the same as Shui Xue, soon, the three vows came true, she retreated into the crowd, lowered her head, and said nothing.
After that, after hesitating, the boy in red and the girl in green shirt walked out of the crowd at the same time, stepped forward, took the incense stick handed over by the alchemist next to him, kowtowed, bowed, and successfully passed the fifth test.
There were already four people who chose to accept the rules of the three oaths, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the remaining four people.
The young man in green shirts, the young man in purple clothes, Tang Gu, and the rough young man in blue who had been walking with them.
Hehe smiled, the fifth person to step out of the crowd, unexpectedly, was the blue-clothed rough young man who accompanied Tang Gu and them all the way.
I saw him grinning, looking heartless, and went up with his head folded, and soon completed the action, and walked back, still with a heartless look, as if he didn't realize what these three oaths meant.
Then, after a long silence, the sixth young man in the green shirt walked out, slowly came to the statue, bowed respectfully three times, and then quietly retreated.
The young man in purple saw this. There was a hint of hesitation on his face, but when he looked around, he found that he and another inexplicable boy were left, and the eyes of most of the people in the audience were focused on the two of them.
gritted his teeth, after all, he didn't want to give up halfway because of this matter, so he no longer hesitated, strode forward, and fulfilled his vow.
In the end, Tang Gu was the only one left in the field.
"Why, what about you. Don't you want to?"
The old man in purple looked at Tang Gu who bowed his head and groaned. Suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Tang Gu's face.
Hearing this, Tang Gu's expression did not move, but the eyes of others around him. Suddenly, they all converged on him. Water and snow is eager. The young man in the green shirt is strange-eyed. The young man in purple was disdainful, and the others had different expressions.
It's all come to this. There was no hope but suddenly gave you a place, don't you know how to cherish it, as long as it is a person, even if it is against your heart at this time, you will definitely bend your knees and be unwilling to let go, right?
However, a stunned voice suddenly remembered that Tang Gu slowly raised his head, his eyes were clear, quiet and distant, and he said slowly: "I...... I don't want to!"
Silence –
In the main hall, there was a deathly silence, and after half a cup of tea, there was a sudden uproar, like water boiling in a pot.
This kind of general behavior, even if it is against their will, there must not be too many people who really take it seriously. The so-called words of ghosts and gods are all believed, and if they don't believe, they don't, and how many people really take the so-called vows seriously?
However, he replied...... Unwillingly!
Shui Xue couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted eagerly: "Brother Tang......"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, applause rang out in the hall, and at this time, who else would applaud, and who would dare to applaud? Everyone was stunned and looked over, but saw that it was the old man in purple.
I saw him smile and said: "Okay, very good, it doesn't go against your heart, even if it's just a scene, it's much better than those oaths that go against your heart." I grant you permission to do so, you don't have to make these three oaths, you can still get started!"
"Ah......h
"Elder!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, and many alchemists of Xinglin Villa were full of horror and stepped forward to persuade them.
Only the old man in purple, from beginning to end, still had a calm and breezy expression, ignoring those who persuaded him, and just asked Tang Gu again: "How about it, if so, are you still willing to go?"
Tang Gu's gaze finally fell on the purple-clothed old man's eyes again, and after a long time, he finally nodded slowly: "Okay." ”
didn't say a word more, the dust settled, even though those other Xinglin Villa alchemists were full of anger and wanted to stop it, but in the end, their lips moved twice, and they still put it down. It's just that when I look at Tang Gu's gaze again, it's all the light of unkindness.
In this regard, Tang Gu smiled, he didn't care at all, his eyes only fell on Shui Xue on the side, and Shui Xue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and showed a sweet smile at Tang Gu.
It is as beautiful as the first child of a strange flower, and it is like the rising moon of tomorrow.
"Good, good!"
The purple-clothed old man Daxiao seemed to be very happy, and then turned around suddenly, faced everyone, and announced loudly: "Now, I can proudly tell you that the eight of you have all passed the assessment of this fifth level and become my beginner disciples of Xinglin Villa. ”
"Although the assessment is difficult, although the process is tortuous, but ...... That's why the eight of you were chosen. If you want to become an alchemist, prudence, carefulness, courage, boldness, talent, these qualities are all indispensable, and you all have them.
You are well-deserved geniuses, innate alchemists, and true dragons and phoenixes among people. ”
"Okay, without further ado, I'll give you three days to go back and deal with your own affairs, separate from your family, and get ready for a long trip. Three days later, still here, everyone will set off with me and go to Nanxing County, the headquarters of Xinglin Villa, to hold your official initiation ceremony.
When the time comes, someone will grant you my Xinglin Villa's exclusive crown robes and ribbons, Dan furnaces, classics and other application products, and register them. Only then will you be the official introductory disciples of my Xinglin Villa!"
"Now, let's go...... Let's disperse......" After speaking, he waved his hand violently, and took the rest of the alchemists with him and left the main hall first.
Seeing this, the others glanced at each other, and had to leave separately, with different expressions, both the joy of successfully passing the assessment, and some inexplicable confusion.
And Tang Gu, Shui Xue, seeing this, knew that there was nothing wrong with them anymore, so naturally they slowly dispersed with the crowd and left the branch of Xinglin Villa. (To be continued......)
