Chapter Seventy-Five: The Trial of the True Legend (I)
After drinking with Wu Hao for two days in a row, Old Man Xue finally figured out Wu Hao's intentions.
In the past two days, he has been inquiring with Old Man Xue about all aspects of the sect, from the structure of the sect to the rules of all aspects, from various stewardship responsibilities to the ancestors of the ancestor hall.
In this way, Old Man Xue immediately understood Wu Hao's thoughts.
Old man Xue has been in the sect for so long, strictly speaking, he is basically a master of all things in the sect. This kid wants him to give full play to his spare heat and explain to him all aspects of the sect's information.
"Good boy, you have to pluck the hair of the goose!" Old man Xue thought in his heart, but he admired Wu Hao a lot.
Even he himself was a little neglected, it turned out that he still had this value.
The long-term lonely old ancestor hall can only take pleasure in teasing junior disciples, and Old Man Xue has long looked down on the world.
However, deep in his heart, there is still a trace of unwillingness and resentment after all. There is a regret that even if the sect takes care of it, it can't be resolved.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but think about what kind of situation he would be like now if he hadn't been a waste person and continued to cultivate step by step.
However, no matter how much he wants, he can't change the fact that he is already a wasted person, except that he will occasionally be misunderstood by disciples who don't know the truth as a senior master, he is almost worthless.
Even if it was the sect formation in the Patriarch Hall, its core was not in his hands. He's just in charge of the entrances and exits. To put it bluntly, he is a gatekeeper.
And this gate can't be opened a few times a year.
Old Man Xue knew that even if he wasn't there, the elders of the sect would be able to open the Patriarch Hall through the formation opening the law, and the reason why he was here was just to show that the sect would not forget the meritorious people.
With him and without him, the difference is not so big.
At this time, Old Man Xue found that he was being used by the kid surnamed Wu, which made him realize that he still had some value.
Although he knew that this kid's mind was not pure, Old Man Xue was still secretly happy.
He is not afraid of others taking advantage of it, and the most unbearable thing is that he has no value in being used.
So in the past two days, Old Man Xue has become more and more pleasing to Wu Hao, and he faintly feels that he has found a trace of his youthful appearance in him.
At that time, he was also very shrewd, and he did everything possible to calculate for the future.
Obviously because he accidentally discovered the conspiracy of the Black Yan clan early in the morning, he still concealed it and let them plot against the Ancestor Hall. Then he stepped forward at the last moment, turned the tide, and made great contributions from then on.
He originally thought that he would have a great future in the future, and he would soar to the sky in the sect. However, he misjudged the revenge of the Black Flame people. If you accidentally lose all the games. It's what it is now.
The past is gone.
However, seeing the shrewd and calculating appearance of the younger generations, he still inevitably recalled the years when he was young.
At this time, Old Man Xue looked at Wu Hao's gaze more and more kindly. He also knows everything about his thoughtful clichés, and he has endless words.
Although Wu Hao didn't know how the old man figured it out, he saw the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, and quietly asked him about the Ancestral Master Hall.
In the end, the ancestral hall is an important place for the sect. Even if there is a formation to protect it, it is not possible to let the disciples get close.
If Wu Hao didn't have a punishment mission, he would not even be allowed to go to the top of the mountain casually according to his status as an outer disciple.
Therefore, after this punishment mission, it was very difficult for Wu Hao to see Old Man Xue again. You even have to report it to the sect elders to get permission.
And even if you see Old Man Xue, it's useless. He couldn't enter the ancestral hall to scan the code at all.
According to what Old Man Xue said, the Patriarch Hall would not be opened easily, even if he had to report to the sect in advance every time he opened it. And generally speaking, there are only three situations in which he will open the Ancestral Master Hall.
The first is that once a year, when a new disciple enters the school, a ceremony is held to worship the patriarch, and in this case, an elder will accompany the new disciple to complete the ceremony.
The second situation is when a disciple is promoted to the true lineage, because the second-generation sect master has a testament, and the true lineage disciple can retreat in the ancestral hall for three days when he is promoted. And it will open the mountain protection array, gather vitality, and help it cultivate.
Since the Ancestral Hall is a very important node of vitality on the Red Lotus Peak, when the mountain protection array is opened, the vitality of the entire Red Lotus Peak can be gathered into the Ancestral Hall through the formation. Therefore, this three-day retreat is a reward for the sect's new true disciples to help them break through the realm or stabilize their cultivation.
As for whether there is any other profound meaning of the legacy of the second-generation patriarch, it is unknown.
And the third type of opening the Ancestral Hall is even rarer, and that is when the new sect master succeeds to the throne.
In the Red Lotus Sect, the suzerain is autocratic, generally only when the previous generation of the suzerain dies, the new suzerain will succeed to the throne, and then draw the portrait of the previous generation and invite it into the ancestral hall.
The reason why the portrait is enshrined, rather than the tomb tombstone, is because the Blood and Fire Shura Dao was originally famous for its battles. When the first patriarch formulated this system, he was telling the younger generations that to become the sect master was to be prepared to fight for the sect until there were no bones.
After Wu Hao heard these things, his eyes flashed.
If according to what Old Man Xue said, the portrait of the first generation of patriarchs should be painted by the second generation of patriarchs. This portrait has a QR code on it, and the most likely situation is that there is some kind of exercise hidden on it.
True disciples can retreat from the Patriarch's Hall for three days, which is precisely the last instruction of the second generation of patriarchs. This should be the one who left the exercises, counting on a disciple to be able to participate in the enlightenment.
The so-called three-day retreat is only incidental, and it is likely that this is the real goal.
Wu Hao has done many experiments, in addition to money, only the secret recipes of exercises, martial arts, prescriptions, and secret recipes will have a QR code and can be learned by scanning.
He also whimsically wanted to use krypton gold to improve and strengthen his clothes, weapons, spirit stones or mustard seed bags, but unfortunately in the end there was no way to scan the code.
Akr does not support this service at all.
I don't know if it's because it doesn't have this function per se, or if the data module is missing......
What can generate a QR code is very likely to be some kind of inheritance left by the second generation of patriarchs in the ancestral hall. was hidden by her like this, this kind of inheritance, Wu Hao would feel extraordinary if he thought about it a little.
At the very least, this patriarch should feel that only true disciples are qualified to participate in enlightenment.
Let Wu Hao forcibly break into the Patriarch Hall formation and sneak in to scan the code, I'm afraid it's not realistic. Even if he was promoted to the Qi refining period and practiced the "Gathering Breath Decision" to a five-star level, Wu Hao didn't know if he could do it.
At this time, when he heard that the disciples who had been promoted to the True Inheritance could enter the Patriarch Hall openly, Wu Hao couldn't help but ask Old Man Xue what kind of realm he had been promoted to in order to be promoted to the True Inheritance.
"Realm?" Old Man Xue shook his head and smiled, "The true inheritance of my Red Lotus Sect has never been improved by realm. Rather, it relies on a kind of trial that occurs once every three years. As long as they can pass the trial, they will be promoted to the true lineage. ”
"Maybe you can too!" he suddenly looked at Wu Hao with a smile and said.
Wu Hao didn't care about his expression, but took the opportunity to inquire what kind of trial it was.
"It's okay to tell you. Old man Xue said with some nostalgia: "After all, this kind of trial is still too far away from you. ”
He glanced at the Red Lotus Peak in the night, and then said with some nostalgia: "Do you know why our Red Lotus Sect is called the Demon Sect?" Speaking of which, it has something to do with this bloody trial of promoting the true inheritance. Our sect inheritance is famous for battles, and the true inheritance trial is naturally related to battle, and it was a bloody battle!"
"According to the rules of the sect, true lineage disciples must pass the blood test before they can be promoted to true lineage. The Scarlet Trial is opened once every three years, and one of the conditions that must be met is that at least one hundred disciples participate in it before it can be opened. If there are not enough 100 people, it will be postponed to the next three years. ”
"The disciples who participate in the trial will be thrown into the Blood Secret Realm, and more than 100 disciples will experience a melee in it. In the end, only one disciple survived, and then the secret realm would be opened again. And this disciple who has survived the bloody battle will be able to be promoted to the true inheritance according to the rules!"
Wu Hao quietly listened to Old Man Xue explain the cruel trial of the true inheritance of the sect, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
