Chapter 18: The Canon of True Tradition
The day before the True Transmission Ceremony, the law enforcement disciples who went to Qingsong City to recruit disciples also returned, including some of the descendants of Qingsong Sect disciples with better qualifications and traces of their ancestors, about 200 people, and some of the scattered disciples who had gone through many tests and recruited them, about 30 people.
The strength of the scattered cultivation disciples is at least in the late stage of Qi refining, because the entry test of the Qingsong Gate is not easy, and they need to go to the 100,000 Great Mountains to find the treasures designated by the Qingsong Gate, and they can only get it after a lot of fighting;
The reason why the Qingsong Sect recruits casual cultivation disciples is to avoid the growth of the casual cultivation alliance, after all, there are too many casual cultivators, and there will always be some people with great talents and amazing adventures, and if they are left alone, it is likely to pose a great threat to the sect in the future, after all, the sect occupies most of the resources in the world; but if it is directly pursued, it is too domineering, and it is also too time-consuming, who wants to rush to hunt down and kill for a threat that I don't know when, but it can't become? Besides, once the other party escapes, the hatred will be bigger, and there are too many variables. Therefore, it is better to recruit them into the door, and it is much better to turn the threat into one's own than to become an enemy.
Mortal disciples are recruited from the Zhou State every ten years, not to mention, the Qingsong Sect Disciple Acceptance Ceremony and the True Transmission Ceremony are basically once every twenty years, and the two are placed so closely, one is to supplement the consumption of foreign disciples in the Beast King Sacrifice, and the other is to let these disciples see the grand occasion of the Qingsong Sect's foundation building true disciples, arousing their enthusiasm and yearning for the sect, and the disciples of the foundation building period who have just broken through from the Qi cultivation period are placed in front of you, how about it, envy or not? Desire or not desire? After joining the sect, you may become one of them. There is also a purpose for the distribution of the remaining Tsukidan.
At the beginning, the five major factions and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance only took out half of the Zhuji Dan for the Beast King Sacrifice, and the other half was divided, and the Qingsongmen got twenty pieces, and the Zhuji Dan seized by the disciples who participated in the Beast King Sacrifice at the beginning, in addition to the ones they used to build the foundation, the rest was purchased by the sect with a low-grade spiritual weapon. Tsukidan only has the effect of catalyzing mana liquefaction, and it is useless for monks above the foundation building period, so they don't mind exchanging it for a spiritual weapon that they can use. This can probably collect about five Tsukidan, and in the end, there are about twenty-five idle Tsukidans in total.
These Tsukidans will not be given directly to the disciples, but as a reward for some extremely difficult sect tasks, or if there is any adventure, if you get a treasure, you can also exchange it for the sect Tsukidan, and there may be a reward for some disciples who have worked hard for the sect for many years and have made significant contributions. At the beginning, some of the monks who practiced Qi and the Great Perfection did not participate in the Beastmaster Sacrifice, just under the guise of obtaining Tsukidan from these ways
On the day of the True Legend Ceremony, the Qingsong Gate opened the inner area of the spiritual vein, and a large number of outer disciples poured in, and they were immediately shocked by this rich spiritual aura. Some disciples even started to meditate and cultivate immediately, which was equivalent to cultivating with three spirit stones in one day, and they couldn't even cultivate with one spirit stone in one day. Not to mention those newly accepted disciples, they are reluctant to even use spirit stones to cultivate on weekdays, and they have accumulated to buy magic weapons and pills, and there are no spiritual veins in Qingsong City, but a large spirit gathering array has been arranged to make the spiritual energy in the city relatively strong.
Zhang Zhiping was also shocked by this rich aura, this is only a small spiritual vein, what is the extent of the legendary large spiritual vein? Qingsong Sect only belongs to a small sect in the immortal cultivation world, and even the immortal cultivation realm of the Five Kingdoms is only a small part of the immortal cultivation realm, and he must not indulge in his current achievements and finally become a frog at the bottom of the well!
On the square, everyone meditated and sat on the assigned futon, chatting with the surrounding brothers and sisters, and the noisy shouting made the scene a little chaotic. At this moment, a powerful coercion suddenly came, this coercion was far heavier than the coercion that Zhang Zhiping had felt at the beginning, and at that moment, he even felt that his thinking was about to stop! Even the five visceral gods couldn't move for a while. Fortunately, this coercion only disappeared in a flash, allowing everyone to quickly recover, but the originally chaotic scene suddenly quieted down.
As the coercion disappeared, a white cloud floated into the sky, and there were people on it! Everyone became noisy again, and then the white clouds gradually fell, as if an immortal had descended to earth, making everyone stunned, and their hearts could not help but be filled with admiration. Finally, the white clouds fell, just on the high platform in front of the square, at this time, a respectful voice came from nowhere: "We meet the master, I wish the head of the family immortality, and the fairy road can be expected!"
All the disciples also reacted, hurriedly got up from their seats, knelt down and followed the voice in unison: "We will meet the master, I wish the head of the sect an immortal life, and the immortal path can be expected!"
Standing at the front is a majestic and solemn middle-aged man, it is the head of the sect Xuan Songzi, Jindan Dachen cultivation, the incomparable coercion just now, he also issued it. Seeing the disciples worshipping, he opened his mouth to salute back, and his voice was like thunder: "The disciples get up, you don't need to be polite." ”
Only then did the disciples stand up and sit down again, and Zhang Zhiping followed the general stream all the time, without making any strange movements. Since he came to this world, he has knelt a lot, kneeling at home to his parents, kneeling outside the teacher, usually encountering what priestly ceremonies, and then kneeling to the sky, when he was a child, he was led by his parents, and the ancestors and Buddhas also knelt a lot, at first he was very unaccustomed, deliberately awkward, but was treated by his parents as a child, forced to kneel, and then gradually got used to it, not kneeling must mean submission, the Tang Dynasty used to kneel and sit!
Zhang Zhiping This is the first time to see this legendary leader, I saw him wearing a purple and gold crown, eyebrows tied to the two dragons to grab pearls and gold wipe his forehead, wearing a two-color gold hundred butterflies and wearing a flower red robe, his body is dignified, his appearance is dignified, his eyes are bright, and his bearing is like that, which is really in line with the impression in his heart.
At this time, the disciples of the foundation building period who followed the head of the sect Xuan Songzi came to the front row and sat down, and there were only three people left on the stage, all of whom were elders of the Jindan period. After all, it was only a true transmission ceremony, and it was impossible to call all the elders. Seeing everyone sit down, Xuan Songzi announced majestically: "The True Disciple Ceremony, start!"
As Xuan Songzi's voice fell, the white clouds that had just disappeared reappeared, surrounding the high platform, setting off the head of the sect as if they were immortals, and there was also a burst of mysterious music in the ears of the disciples. Zhang Zhiping faintly felt that something was wrong, as the music sounded, the spiritual power between heaven and earth was gradually gathered, but it was very weak, if it wasn't for his intensive study of spells, he was extremely sensitive to the mobilization of spiritual power, I am afraid he would not have found it, this music is like a large spell!
Zhang Zhiping looked around a little uneasily, but found that many disciples revealed a hint of joy between their eyebrows, as if something good was about to happen, at this time the scene was solemn, no one spoke, and Zhang Zhiping was not easy to speak, but he secretly guessed that this should be a good thing, and he immediately began to anticipate various situations.
Immortal cultivators don't have so much red tape, so all kinds of rituals are simply done and passed, mainly because the top ten disciples are officially recorded in the golden book and jade book of the entry school, light the soul lamp, and then become true disciples.
The function of the golden book and jade book is twofold, one is to register the names and lives of the disciples of the disciples, and the other is to record the famous deeds of the ancestors of the past dynasties, which is the spiritual yearning of a sect. The soul lamp is to leave a trace of soul breath in the blank soul lamp, and the soul lamp will be lit, which can show the safety and death of the disciple: if you are seriously injured, the light will be dim, and if you die, the light will be extinguished. In this way, when encountering danger, the sect can take the soul lamp to find this disciple for rescue and protection. It is rumored that the soul lamp of the top sect can also guide the sect to find reincarnated disciples, which is also one of the reasons why many powerful people establish the sect.
