Chapter 61 Recruitment
In the past few days, according to Gu Zuo's observation, there are at least thirty people waiting in Yunshui Hall to participate in the recruitment, including casual cultivators who are responsible for cultivation, rich young people who don't know anything, and a few monks from other sects who come to communicate, according to the rules of Yunmeng Sect, all of them have to participate in the recruitment test.
Among them, two of them belonged to the self-acquaintance, and knocked on Gu Zuo's door many times and invited him to participate in the Dharma discussion meeting together. Gu Zuo participated twice, and then made an excuse to decline.
These two self-acquaintances are very enthusiastic, and they have invited a lot of people to the Dharma talk meeting organized by themselves, and they are all loose cultivators waiting to be recruited in Yunshui Hall, and everyone feels quite good when they sit and talk about the Tao, and the content they talk about is also very useful. In addition to the cultivation experience and Dao Fa perception, there are also various observations, of course, including the practice and rumors of Yunmeng Sect recruiting disciples. It is very useful for a solitary cultivator like Gu Zuo.
It's a pity that in the two Dharma talks that Gu Zuo attended, some monks mentioned the "insider operation" of Yunmeng Sect's recruitment of disciples, which caused a wave of indignation among everyone. It's not good for Gu Zuo to participate anymore, lest after getting acquainted with them, his "insider" will be accidentally exposed.
A "predetermined player" like him must try to be low-key and low-key before and after, and too much publicity will only harm others and oneself.
After staying in Yunshui Hall for six or seven days, the general deacon of Yunmeng Sect finally came to announce the start of recruitment. There is no quota for Yunmeng Sect to recruit disciples from outside sects, as long as they meet the conditions of the sect, they can enter smoothly. Of course, from another point of view, the recruitment conditions must be very strict.
Gu Zuo got the seventeenth number of Group A, this group is all loose cultivators with cultivation, a total of more than 40 people, and his ranking is inconspicuous.
In addition to Group A, there are also Group B and Group C, Group B is more than 20 teenagers who have never been in contact with cultivation, and everyone has the dream of fighting the sword world, and Group C is the disciples of other sects who came to exchange and learn the Fa, there are seven.
The whole recruitment process lasted three days, but for everyone, it was actually half a day's work.
Gu Zuo entered the valley on the second day of recruitment, and was introduced to the mountain gate by the disciples of Yunmeng Sect, and he did not see other exam-taking casual cultivation along the way, and it was completely separated, and it seemed that the recruitment preparations of Yunmeng Sect were very detailed and solid.
After entering the valley, Gu Zuo met the two deacons of the Yunmeng Sect who were in charge of the first level in a bamboo pavilion. The two deacons were expressionless and asked him to show materials that could prove his identity, so Gu Zuo presented his Huaixian Pavilion ticket and Dao Certificate.
Gu Zuo originally belonged to the sect, which required the Huaixian Pavilion to issue a written document agreeing to him joining the Yunmeng Sect, and after declaring that after becoming a disciple of the Yunmeng Sect, the identity of the original Huaixian Pavilion would be retained and sealed, and all subsequent actions would be subject to the arrangements of the Yunmeng Sect.
Gu Zuo can write seventy or eighty copies of such a document casually, and the signature is also himself. Looking at this signature, the two deacons also smiled, it is not absolutely impossible for the owner of the hall to personally worship the sect, but it is really rare, and the two deacons are also meeting it for the first time, and they can't help but talk to Gu Zuoduo.
After checking the authenticity of all the documents, he registered in the register, and briefly asked a few words about his experience from San'in, and then let him go.
The owner of the hall bowed, and it was also the pride of Yunmeng Sect to say it, and of course he had to do his best to do it.
"Go up the stream to the next pavilion. The deacon pointed in the right direction.
"I've passed this level?" Gu Zuo asked for confirmation.
According to the rumors he heard in Yunshui Hall, half of the ten people in the first level of verification here would be stuck on the spot, and he didn't know what standard Yunmeng Sect was adhering to in this level.
One of the deacons said with a smile: "The master of the Daoist Pavilion who has been entered into the sect book of the world by the Chongxuan Department has nothing to check, and after you are recruited, someone will go to Longrui Palace to review." ”
Gu Zuo was ashamed and said: "Although I am the owner of the museum, I am a lonely person, and I am really ashamed to have not fulfilled my responsibility for inheritance." ”
"Which sect doesn't have difficulties? Thank you for Pavilion Master Gu's love for Yunmeng Sect, you will definitely not be disappointed. The deacon smiled encouragingly.
It is indeed a good thing for the hall owner to work, but for the sect, it is not so significant, in the final analysis, it is still an outer disciple.
Outer disciples are not disciples in the strict sense of the word, but only have the status of "reserve disciples". Through large-scale process training, it is the important significance of the existence of the outer sect to select disciples who can truly inherit the sect among these outer disciples.
Through a long period of investigation, it can be seen that a person's cultivation talent and moral character can be ensured to the greatest extent to ensure that the selected disciples can truly carry the future of the sect.
At the same time, the outer disciples also have the nature of "doormen". Sects often arrange for outer disciples to take on a lot of chores, because there is no clear teacher, and if they break into trouble, they can also reduce their responsibilities by expelling them from the door wall or compensating money.
After two sentences, Gu Zuo finally concluded that he really didn't care about the owner of the Huaixian Pavilion that he was worried about.
So he happily moved on to the next one.
This is the stone pavilion next to the mountain stream deep in the valley, and the style of the pavilion is very ancient, which makes Gu Zuo look at it a few times.
There are three deacons in the pavilion, and the leading surname is Lu, according to the news revealed by Twelve Niang in advance, he is a master of building a foundation and consummation realm, but unfortunately he has not been able to break through the realm of Jindan. Deacon Lu's beard was so long that it almost dragged to the ground, and he looked like he was in his sixties or seventies.
The three deacons sat in three categories, surrounded a stone pier in the middle of the stone pavilion. Elder Lu twisted his beard and nodded at Gu Zuo: "Gu Zuo of Shanyin County, sit down." ”
Gu Zuo took a deep breath, and then sat down on the stone pier.
Even if he is an internal candidate, he is a little nervous at the moment. It is rumored that the second level is the most difficult level for Yunmeng Sect to recruit disciples, and it is said that there is no one in ten in this level!
Seeing Gu Zuo sitting still, Deacon Lu punched out a talisman, and the pale yellow talisman paper slowly rose, rising to the top of the stone beam and spontaneously combusted without wind.
Gu Zuo suddenly felt a coercion permeate, almost overwhelmed.
At the same time, there was also a suction force at the stone pier under the seat, and this suction force directly invaded the sea of qi, desperately sucking out the soul search true qi in Gu Zuo's sea of qi.
Although he had heard about it for a long time, Gu Zuo still subconsciously wanted to escape from the stone pavilion, and as soon as his butt was raised, he was stopped by Elder Lu: "Don't move, just cast a spell with all your strength to resist!"
Gu Zuo hesitated for a moment, it was too late to leave, the huge suction force sucked him firmly on the stone pier, and the coercion that permeated everywhere also pressed him to the ground and couldn't get out.
Gu Zuo was forced to resist with all his might, his face gradually turned pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Deacon Lu pointed at Gu Zuo's chest, and the other two deacons also stretched out their fingers at the same time, pointing under Gu Zuo's armpits, and three soft true qi penetrated into Gu Zuo's meridians, wandering between the meridians repeatedly.
Deacon Lu took Gu Zuo's hand three yang meridians and hand three yin meridians, and the two deacons respectively undertook the three yang meridians and the three yin meridians.
Gu Zuo struggled to support, and just when his true qi was about to be exhausted, and he had no strength left to fight, as if he was about to be crushed by this stone pavilion, and was about to be sucked into the endless abyss by this stone pier, this coercion and suction suddenly retracted and disappeared without a trace.
The cool breeze blew into the pavilion with the crispness of the stream in the mountain stream, and gently brushed on his body, Gu Zuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart palpitated.
