Chapter 9 The Opening Ceremony
There are three major ceremonies in the immortal family, the cloud climbing meeting, the immortal banquet and the Kunlun opening mountain.
Kunlun opens the mountain every ten years, unlike other immortal gates, Kunlun does not force the immortal root, but seeks the immortal fate more, so the Kunlun of the head of the ten thousand sects faces everyone when it opens the mountain, regardless of origin, regardless of age, even if it is a mortal beggar, you can come to participate in the opening ceremony.
Even as long as the master allows, disciples who have already apprenticed in other sects can also participate, and as long as they pass, they can stay in Kunlun to cultivate.
Therefore, among the three major ceremonies, only Kunlun Kaishan is a single sect ceremony, but it has a great influence, and the immortals gathered, coming to watch this seven-day selection of protégé competition.
The opening ceremony was jointly responsible for the Thousand Blades Peak, Fengqing Cliff and Karakuri Pavilion, the elders personally went out, Zhu Mingzhao selected strange beasts and set up sword arrays, Xu Ling opened up the mountain space array, set up the Lost Valley, and Yun Qingzi led Fengqing Cliff to set up a clear shadow mirror up and down to supervise each candidate.
Except for the owner of Qianmo Garden, who was busy squatting in the field to harvest wheat during the summer harvest, the four gate masters also gathered at the main peak of Kunlun to jointly select their protégés.
The nearest mortal town is also fifty miles away from the Kunlun Mountain Gate, this is the alpine region, the border junction of the two countries, the land is desolate, there is neither fertile land, nor rich pasture, sparsely populated, and the barracks stationed are also far away from the snow-capped mountains, almost abandoned by the mainland.
On this day, this small frontier town suddenly became lively.
The only inn was suddenly full, and the wooden staircase that had fallen into disrepair creaked for a day.
The dilapidated town was suddenly crowded with brightly dressed people, all of whom were handsome and bright-looking, and behaved strangely, many of them children and teenagers with a slightly youthful appearance, and the town's natives could not help but be frightened but curious.
It is said to be a town, but in fact it is just a gathering place of no more than 100 human households, which has lived here for generations, and the traffic is blocked, and few people will get out of this snowfield, and any village in the interior is more lively than this.
A small bazaar is only a hundred steps away, and even then it cannot stand the playful nature of children, and the little girl and boy in the beautiful cloak gather around all the stalls, chirping like a nest of sparrows.
What good things can the vendors come up with, some wooden carved amulets, and their own rouge hairpins, the workmanship is very rough, but the children only want to be fresh, and they are very generous, not only the original stalls, but the people who live on the side are also so red that they quickly take out all the things that the mother-in-law has made to set up stalls.
In this way, the original place is not enough, the original stall people refuse to let it, and the new ones who want to set up stalls are indignant, saying that it was originally their own doorstep, and the word is the head, so it is inevitable to fight.
The children, who had never seen these scenes before, were very happy to see it, and not only did not stop it, but even started to coax it to the side.
The battle became more and more intense, the vegetable leaves and bamboo flats flew together, and the scolding of adults and the applause of children finally attracted the elders of this group of children.
A slender man walked over, he was wearing a blue and white brocade robe, jade around his waist, a little cinnabar mark between his eyebrows, and his expression was arrogant, he looked at the chaotic crowd, and frowned in disgust: "What are you doing!"
Everyone paused for a moment, and when the children turned around and saw him, they immediately restrained their smiles and held their breath as if they had seen a cat and a mouse.
"Kiri-kun. ”
One of the girls who had just laughed the most walked out of the crowd with a bitter face at this time, her clothes were the most luxurious among the children, her hair was full of crystal pearls, her childish face was seven points similar to that of men, and although the cinnabar mark between her eyebrows was not as luxurious as that of a man, it was like a small red plum that added a lot of color to this face.
"There are no rules at all, what are you doing here in this filthy place? I heard your shouting a mile away. ”
Ying Tongjun subconsciously pointed to a young man and said, "He invited me here, and you just said that you were busy letting me go." ”
The accused young man cried out in distress, hiding behind his companion with a red face, Ying Zhongjing didn't look at him, just glared at Ying Tongjun, "You come over to me!"
Ying Tongjun didn't dare to refuse, but being reprimanded in public made her feel ashamed, she glared at the teenagers on the side, and when she walked towards Ying Zhongjing, there was a stone the size of a small wine cup at her feet, and she kicked it angrily.
"You're still wronged!" Ying Zhongjing's anger suddenly came out.
Ying Tongjun was stunned at this time, and stood in place, coincidentally, she has been cultivating a lot since she was a child, the stone just hit the wooden beam, and the owner hung on the eaves of the house A Luo of peppers was scattered towards Ying Tongjun's head and face.
Ying Zhongjing didn't react for a while, and in front of everyone's eyes, he saw that the whole basket of spices was about to cover the girl's head, and suddenly a person flew up from the shadow of the corner and pushed Ying Tongjun aside.
