Kunlun Mountain, on the Zixiao Peak, in the main hall of the Zixiao Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
More than ten Fa Yuan Immortal Masters were sitting or standing, lying or leaning, gathering in the supreme hall of Kunlun, and in front of them, on the cyan light curtain like a fluorescent screen, at this moment, this group of more than ten trial disciples was showing their every move in the Bronze Horse Hall array.
ββAs long as you can pass the trial of the Bronze Horse Hall, you will be a true disciple, and the so-called "true disciple" means that there is a true Fa Yuan Immortal Master who is willing to accept him as a disciple and grant him a inheritance.
There are more than 200 Fa Yuan on Kunlun Mountain, and they usually talk about it from a high position and ignore mundane affairs, and they really don't need to worry about ordinary trivial matters. But the Kunlun faction still had some requirements for them -- the most important of which was to preach and teach. Every Fa Yuan Immortal Master of the Kunlun Sect will have an apprenticeship index: within how many years on the mountain, at least a few apprentices must be accepted, which is a hard rule of the sect.
And this is divided into two situations: one is just according to the requirements of the sect, select a few white-clothed disciples who have passed the trial and choose a few that look more pleasing to the eye, and accept them to teach. It doesn't matter how many people there are, teaching one is no different from teaching a group, and it doesn't take much effort. This is the case for most of the white-clothed disciples on Kunlun Mountain.
There will be no shortage of those who should be taught, but it is difficult to say to what extent. Usually I will definitely take more care of the door than the average doorman, but I don't pay special attention to it. Basically, it is similar to the school in later generations, the teacher teaches the students: even if the relationship is good during school, most of them will become passers-by after graduating for a period of time - of course, in this Xianxia world, the master and apprentice will not be so utilitarian and ruthless, and the saying "one day as a teacher and a father for life" still exists, but for ordinary disciples, the master's efforts are limited, and the requirements for disciples are not too high. It is enough to maintain respect for teachers and fully cooperate with teachers when necessary.
The other is much more cautious - that is, to choose the heirs of the mantle. Every immortal cultivator's path to cultivating immortals is his own choice, and even his own creation. And this path of cultivating immortals often does not necessarily come to an end. When they feel that they may not be able to finish it again, they often want to pin their dreams and hopes that they have not been able to achieve in this life on the next generation, hoping that the next generation will continue to complete their path - this is the so-called "Taoist inheritance".
Immortal cultivators, in addition to their own pursuit of becoming immortals and attaining the Tao, pay the most attention to whether the inheritance of the Dao system can be passed on. If you pay more attention to your own bloodline and hope that your blood relatives will inherit your own lineage, you usually go down the mountain to establish a family, give birth to children, and choose your own heirs.
And since it is still on Kunlun Mountain, it is the chosen path of master and apprentice. The heirs they are looking for to inherit their own lineage are often referred to as "mantle disciples" - even the ones who keep out the cold and eat have been passed on to this apprentice, which shows that they have great faith in them.
Compared with the inheritance of blood relatives, it is actually more secure to inherit the Dao lineage with a disciple with a mantle, and the success rate is also higher - after all, the road to cultivating immortals is too difficult: talent, wisdom, perseverance, and good fortune, all of which are essential. Even if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, they may not be able to find a good seedling. If the scope of cultivation is only limited to one's own blood relatives, even if some seedlings can be selected and set foot on the path of cultivating immortals, most of them will not be able to go far.
Nowadays, the Immortal Cultivation Family is extremely prevalent - after all, most people still trust blood ties more, especially their own biological children, and after all, they want to pass on the best to them, which is human nature. But in the Xianxia world, the really powerful forces are basically all masters and apprentices. Especially those big forces that have stood for more than a thousand years and have always been inherited, all of them control several cities or even countries, and they can choose from millions of people to inherit the disciples, they are the backbone of the immortal cultivation world.
Of course, the same is true for Western Kunlun, although the Kunlun faction allows the Fa Yuan Immortal Masters to go down the mountain to open up their families, but the immortal cultivators who really have the heart to pass on their Dao system for a long time will often stay on the mountain and select successors from the selected sect disciples. By teaching and cultivating disciples, he will pass on his own art industry.
Since cultivating the mantle disciples is regarded as their future successors, the teaching and teaching of the mantle disciples will of course be more careful than that of ordinary disciples. And this "carefulness" begins at the very beginning of the selection of targets. Fa Yuan Immortal Master has a long lifespan and has enough time to select disciples, so it is naturally the best of the best, and those who are not very suitable for their hearts will generally not be accepted.
Therefore, every time the "graduation" period of a blue-clothed disciple, or when a large number of disciples come to apply for the trial of the Bronze Horse Hall, the Fa Yuan Immortal Master who intends to accept disciples will come to pay attention to one or two. Even if you don't choose a successor to the mantle, for ordinary apprentices, you can finally hope to choose a better one--the disciples you teach, if the level is too low, you won't lose your face when you become a teacher in the future.
And their performance in the Bronze Horse Hall is also one of the important bases for the Fa Yuan Immortal Masters to make judgments.

At this moment, these Fa Yuan monks gathered here, watching the scenes of those young people fighting in the trial array, occasionally chatting and laughing with each other, and commenting on those disciples from time to time.
"This kid is good...... The swordsmanship is sharp, and the cultivation of the natal sword is also in place, with a little training, he will be a good fighter in the future. β
ββIn the light curtain, Murong Ying was fighting against a huge clay puppet. The golem's fighting style was very clumsy, nothing more than smashing with a large fist made of boulders, or crushing it with its body...... With Murong Ying's dexterity, it was not difficult to dodge the attack.
But it wasn't easy to deal with, as the guy was made up of huge rocks and clods of dirt all over his body, which were only combined under the effect of spells. Although the sword in Murong Ying's hand and the flying sword around him were extremely sharp, no matter whether they were chopping or piercing, at most they could only cut off a large piece of stone on the surface of the stone, or drill a deep hole, but they could not affect the puppet itself in the slightest.
Even if it took a lot of effort to cut off the surface soil layer by a few feet, it seemed that it could attack the core of the puppet hidden deep inside, but the puppet just rolled on the ground, and then the soil on the ground was absorbed and covered on the body, and it was almost restored again.
This disappointed Murong Ying, and several Fa Yuan monks who were watching the battle also let out a soft laugh, waiting to see how this kid would solve this problem - judging whether these disciples were in line with their own hearts by observing their methods and ideas of solving problems, as well as their emotions and attitudes when they encountered problems, was the main reason why they gathered here.
