Chapter 4 Recruiting Disciples
Soon three days passed, and early in the morning, Fan Chengcheng came to call Chen Liang and went to the town to see if he could be recruited into the Purple Cloud Sect.
Along the way, Fan Cheng was full of confidence and seemed to be well prepared.
Fan Cheng's father is the village head, and he is also a person who has opened the pulse realm, and his father should and should have told him a lot of things about the cultivation realm.
They arrived in the town very early, but there were still many people who were earlier than them, after all, they were selected disciples once every ten years.
The people of the Purple Cloud Sect had not yet arrived at the scene, but many families had already gathered in front of the door with their children to select disciples.
The crowd kept excitedly discussing this recruitment, and Chen Liang was also discussing with Fan Cheng. Fan Cheng excitedly talked about how he soared through the clouds and how he achieved great things after being selected.
Just as people were discussing happily, the door of the house to recruit disciples suddenly opened, and more than a dozen guards came out, standing on both sides of the door, and then four men and three women came out, one of whom was the mayor of the town.
When he came out, the mayor began to shout loudly, "Everyone, be quiet, today is a good day, it is the day when the Purple Cloud Sect comes to our town once in ten years to select disciples, if you are selected, you will have the opportunity to soar in the future, and you will have the opportunity to live a life like an immortal." These six people around me are the Junjie who was selected in our town back then, and now they have brought you the same opportunity ten years later, I hope you will participate enthusiastically and don't miss this opportunity!"
After the mayor spoke, he stepped aside, and at the same time, a man wearing a gray-green robe, with a slender figure and a delicate face, stepped forward and said, "I am Yu Hua, the inner disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, and today I and my fellow disciples and brothers and sisters will come together to select disciples for the Purple Cloud Sect. I won't say much else, now the selection begins. Enter the room in turn when the age is appropriate. ”
After the young monk finished speaking, he went into the room with some of his fellow disciples. At the same time, the guards at the door also hurried to maintain order, allowing the children who came to participate in the selection to enter the house in turn.
There are a total of six doors for recruiting disciples, and each of them is made up of six disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect. All of them were isolated by the guards and could only watch from a distance. School-age children are placed in the room by the guards in turn.
Although the town is not big, there are also three or four hundred children here, and although Chen Liang and they are not too late, they are still behind more than a hundred. Although the children were very excited, they all entered the room in an orderly manner because of the guards.
Basically, two people can be selected in a moment, and before you know it, more than an hour has passed, and most of the children who went in walked out dejectedly, and a hundred or so people passed through one person.
Chen Liang and the others learned from the people who came out that the test is generally divided into two parts, the first step is to test the spiritual root, generally as long as the person with the spiritual root can be selected, the second step is to test the physical fitness such as physical strength, intelligence, endurance, etc., the quality is very good can be selected, the probability of being selected is very low, so until now I have selected a person with a spiritual root.
Although it is said that only with a spiritual root can the pulse be opened, but without a spiritual root, it is not impossible to practice, but it requires a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, and then with the help of a monk from the Yuan Infant Realm, it can be opened and cultivated.
These children in the town who have been brushed down, as long as the Purple Cloud Sect is willing, can actually help them embark on the path of cultivation. However, who is willing to pay so many heavenly and earthly treasures and then consume the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage to help some unrelated people.
Therefore, this world is not fair to everyone, but it is always fair to those who work hard, so the Purple Cloud Sect has a second step in accepting disciples, and if it meets the standard, the Purple Cloud Sect is also willing to pay the price to help him embark on the path of cultivation. In the past, it had been proved that the Purple Cloud Sect's dedication to such a person was worth it, because five of the more than twenty elders of the Purple Cloud Sect were cultivated by this kind of person. However, it is almost impossible to have such people in the town, firstly, because most of the children in the town do not have the consciousness of cultivation, cannot practice from an early age, and do not have the corresponding exercises and corresponding medicinal materials to practice their physique. The second is also because he reached that standard in his teens, and he is a very good person in his own right.
Finally it was Chen Liang's turn, Fan Cheng gave Chen Liang a shoulder, and said excitedly Come on! Chen Liang also responded to Fan Cheng. Then they were taken into a room by the guards, and when Chen Liang entered the room, he saw a female monk, who was one of the six people, and Chen Liang thought in his heart that after all, she was a fairy, much more beautiful than the women in our village.
The nun looked at Chen Liang and said, "What are you doing in a daze, come here." ”
The nun led Chen Liang to a dharma plate, and asked Chen Liang to put his hand on the dharma disk, and the female monk controlled the dharma disk, and after a while, she saw that a white light suddenly appeared on the dharma disk. Chen Liang was stunned and didn't know what was wrong.
At this time, the female monk's voice came, "It's not bad, you have a spiritual root, you think you are a disciple of our Purple Cloud Sect." Let's test something else. ”
Chen Liang was very happy when he heard this, although the old man used to cultivate very highly, and he also had top-level exercises and guidance techniques, but he couldn't practice without resources, and the old man couldn't provide him with resources to practice.
Chen Liang began to think about what to do if he was not selected, but now he is of course very happy to be selected, and of course he also has a sense of pride, after all, there are so many talents who have one.
Chen Liang was taken by the female monk to a room for other tests, and the female monk said, "Although you have passed the selection, you still have to take the test seriously in the future, and when the Dharma Protector Elder chooses you as a disciple after entering the sect, this is still a bit useful." ”
Chen Liang hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister, for reminding me!"
The friar smiled and said, "The child's mouth is so sweet, let's go and test it." ”
Every time Chen Liang saw a woman in the village, the older ones called their aunt after they were forty, and the younger ones called their sisters before they were forty years old, which was very useful, and every time the women in the village saw him, they would give him a smile, and sometimes they would give him a few sweet-tasting candies.
Chen Liang immediately said, "Okay sister."
The tests measured strength, intelligence and endurance separately. To measure the strength is to hit a stone slab tester hard. Chen Liang has heard people say that it has to reach 500 catties, in fact, Chen Liang's strength has reached more than 700 strength because of the practice of channeling, but the old man also said, everything must be careful, the heart of harming people must not be had, the heart of guarding people is indispensable, and you must learn to keep a hand.
Chen Liang also knew that it would be very doubtful that an ordinary little person in such a small town could achieve this, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so Chen Liang generally did not use all his strength, even Chen Liang's friend Fan Chengdu only knew that Chen Liang had more than 300 catties of strength.
And if he passed the first round, there was no need to show too much in the second **, so Chen Liang only played three hundred and fifty pounds of strength, but it was also very good in the eyes of the female monks.
The female monk gave Chen Liang a book and asked him to look at the words on his back for a while, Chen Liang's memory became very good after learning the channeling technique, but Chen Liang still only memorized the first page, and then stumbled to memorize half a page.
To test his endurance, the friar put him into a cupboard-like container and told him to push the door open if he couldn't help it. After Chen Liang entered, he felt a particularly uncomfortable electric current passing through his body, and he also felt cold and hot, and sometimes he felt itching. In fact, the old man will also exercise his endurance during these years, because endurance is very important during the cultivation process, and it sometimes takes several months for a high-ranking monk to meditate. So although it was uncomfortable, Chen Liang still endured it.
But after a while, Chen Liang still took the initiative to push open the door and said that he couldn't hold on. The nun tapped Chen Liang's forehead with her finger and cast a spell that removed all of Chen Liang's strange feelings, and Chen Liang immediately felt refreshed. smiled and said, "Thank you, sister"
The nun smiled and said, "Don't sister, my sister's name is called, we will be the same door in the future, my name is Su Qianqian, just call me Senior Sister Su."
Chen Liang immediately said, "Okay, Sister Qianqian."
Su Qianqian smiled and said, "You kid, but Sister Qianqian is quite good, you go to the room inside and wait, the selected ones are all there." ”
Chen Liangcai walked to the room inside, and saw Fan Cheng and the other two children, a boy and a girl, discussing excitedly. The boy is taller than Chen Liang and Fan Cheng, and his body is slightly fat. The girl is small and delicate, and the baby's fat little face is cute.
Fan Cheng was even happier when he saw Chen Liang, and quickly ran over and put his hand on Chen Liang's shoulder and said, "Liangzi, you have also passed the test, it seems that today is our blessed day, and you have all been selected." ”
Then he introduced, "This girl's name is Lin Ru, she is the daughter of the tailor in the town, and she is the first person to be chosen today. This is a powerful name, although Qin Sen has no spiritual root, but he passed the second test and was selected, and he is also the son of the mayor. ”
Chen Liang and the two children said hello respectively, then walked up to them with Fan Cheng and continued to chat. During the chat, Chen Liang learned that Qin Sen was not selected today, but had been tested two days in advance, and today his father asked him to meet the people who knew the selected person and the monks of the Purple Cloud Sect, so that he would have a good idea in the future.
And Fan Cheng was selected by Feng Linggen, which is considered a good qualification. The so-called wind spirit root is that the spiritual power of the wind attribute is absorbed quickly, and the practice of cultivating the wind attribute is also twice the result with half the effort. That girl, like Chen Liang, was selected by an ordinary spiritual root.
The day passed quickly, and in the afternoon before the sun set, all the people were tested, mainly because there were too few people who met, so the test was very fast.
After Chen Liang and them, five more men and two women were recruited, and they were all ordinary spiritual roots like Chen Liang. After all the selections, Chen Liang and the selected children were called to the front of the selection building by the mayor, and the mayor was about to say something to motivate the people of the town, and by the way, hinted that the selected children would come back to contribute to the town, when suddenly everyone's eyes were dull, and both men and women looked at a woman with a pair of fox ears on her head and a very beautiful face.
Chen Liang was also confused for a while, but his head suddenly woke up with a shock. He hurriedly recited the mantra of the guidance technique taught by the old man to eliminate the influence, and then Chen Liang looked at the woman seriously.
The woman's slender figure of more than one meter and seven meters taller than Chen Liang was more than a head taller, and her two long legs walked gracefully towards Chen Liang and them, and at the same time, she still had a charming smile on her face. Chen Liang was shocked when he saw the ears on the woman's head, because the old man had told him that when some cultivation species were transformed into human forms, they would retain some of the original appearance that they thought were useful or good-looking. If this woman is a certain species that has been transformed into a human form, then she has at least the cultivation of Jindan.
The woman was surprised when she saw Chen Liang come to her senses, but she didn't care too much, maybe he had a special refreshing artifact given by a high-ranking monk or practiced special exercises. There are too many people like this, and besides, she just released her flattery casually, and she didn't use any special exercises.
After Chen Liang came to her senses, the woman walked three or four steps closer to the house. At this time, the male monk in the green shirt who spoke at the beginning suddenly came to his senses, looked at the woman and calmed down, he knew that this was a Jindan monk, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Hello this Taoist friend, I am Yu Hua, a disciple of the inner sect of the Purple Cloud Sect, I don't know what you are doing?"
The woman looked at the man in the green shirt and knew that he was the person in charge here, so she smiled and also hugged her fists and said, "I practiced in Fulu Mountain, fifty miles away, and gave myself a name called Hu Mei'er. Now I want to find a stable sect to continue my practice, I heard that the Purple Cloud Sect is recruiting apprentices, and now I want to join the Purple Cloud Sect, I don't know if the Purple Cloud Sect is willing to have a little girl. ”
During the conversation between the woman and the man, the rest of the people came to their senses one after another, and although some people left, many remained here to see what the monks looked like, and who was chosen. When the crowd came to their senses, there was immediately a chattering discussion.
Many men stared at the fox and said, "This is simply a fairy! Look at that skin, look at the legs, look at the face, if you can marry home and be a wife, you are willing to live ten years less!"
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, he was twisted by a peasant woman beside him and asked, "What do you say? Who to marry?
The man hurriedly said, "Ahhh......h Ahhh
Yu Hua hurriedly said, "It is a blessing for the sect that the Taoist friends are willing to enter our sect to practice, how can they refuse the Taoist friends, the Taoist friends are invited." ”
The woman smiled and nodded, and walked inside. The mayor of the town also lost his enthusiasm for the sudden arrival of this woman, so he hurriedly said a few words, announced the end of the selection, and entered the house with the selected children.
After entering the house, I saw that the woman was chatting with the disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect and learning about the situation of the Purple Cloud Sect. After Chen Liang entered the room, the woman glanced at Chen Liang and turned her head to continue chatting.
When everyone came in, Yu Hua said a word to the woman, then stood up and walked up to the eight selected disciples and said, You are very lucky to be selected as a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, from now on you will embark on a life different from most ordinary people, five days later you will go to the Purple Cloud Sect with us to practice, you go back to clean up first, and say goodbye to your relatives, but don't be too sad to part, you will have a chance to come back in three years, and then it will be ten years, twenty years in turn, after all, the cultivation is far away from the world, and you can't be too obsessed with the world. However, as long as you can cultivate to the golden pill, you can come back whenever you want, but at that time, no one is too willing to take care of worldly things, and you want to practice. Okay, let's all go home and meet here in five days. ”
