Chapter 32 The Opening Ceremony

The Shouyuan faction is built according to the mountain, the pavilions and pavilions in the lower places are full of jewels, and the Lingyue in the cave mansion in the high places is full of misty glow, which is really a good place for practice. Li Yao's sister and brother wandered around in the Shouyuan faction, and the inner gate on the mountain was blocked by people, so they had to spend time in the outer courtyard halfway up the mountain. Finally stayed up until noon, the bell in the mountain rang, and Li Yao was dragged and urged to the square by Li Tian.

The square was full of teenagers who had passed the audition. There were more than 2,000 people queuing up in front of the mountain earlier, but now there are less than 1,000 people left, and it seems that there are many people who do not meet the standards but want to get by. Li Yao and the others came a little late, handed over their identity cards, entered the square and found a place at the back of the team to stand.

At the front of the square was a high platform, and a total of sixteen elite disciples stood in each corner of the square, guarding the order. These disciples are uniformly colored, have the same size, and are handsome, and they are obviously carefully selected by the Shouyuan faction. The salute sounded three times, and the master of ceremonies sang loudly: "Respectfully invite the head of the Shouyuan faction and all the elders!" and saw six people flying from the height of Shouyuan Mountain and landing on the stage. In the middle, wearing a white robe is Zhou Jianye, the head of the Shouyuan faction, and the five people in gray robes next to him are the elders.

The young people in the audience cheered as they watched the dashing figure flying down, revealing infinite fascination. Li Yao pouted: "It's just jumping down from a high place, and it's not like the Heavenly Realm that can fly through the sky, what's there to show off, it's a commotion." Li Tian hurriedly tugged at Li Yao's sleeve and asked her not to say such disrespectful words. A young man next to him was also very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said to Li Yao in an admonishing tone: "What do you know? Those five elders are all strong men in the realm, and the head of the sect is even the peak of the realm, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks into the heavenly realm. We have only just cultivated in the Yellow Realm, but we have just crossed the threshold of cultivation, and we should strive to cultivate with the head and elders as the goal, but we can't be as ambitious as you. Li Yao didn't bother to take care of him, looking at the slightly old elders on the stage, was it so difficult to enter the realm? If you take them as the goal of cultivating, wouldn't you be refining yourself.

Master Zhou and the five elders stood still in front of the seats on the stage, but vacated the middle position. The master of ceremonies spoke again: "Today is the opening ceremony of our Shouyuan faction once every ten years, and on this important day, we are fortunate to welcome Mr. Mao of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion to the ceremony!"

The teenagers in the audience seemed to have exploded, and there was really a Heavenly Realm power to come in person!"Even if I didn't make it to the Shouyuan Sect in the end, it would be worth it to be able to see the demeanor of the Heavenly Realm's power. "I heard that Mr. Mao was once a peerless beauty in Tianzhou!" "What is this, I heard that Mr. Mao's medical Tao is through the sky, and he is the first divine doctor in our Tiandi State." ”...... The teenagers talked a lot, looking forward to the scene of this heavenly realm power stepping on auspicious clouds, wearing a glow, and falling from the sky. Li Tian was also looking forward to it with an excited heart like other teenagers. Li Yao looked at the high platform and sighed: "I thought that the cultivation sect would be any different, but it turned out to be so cheesy. ”

In the eyes of the expectant people, the auspicious clouds did not appear, and the glow did not shine at all. A woman wearing a mask and dressed in plain clothes walked slowly to the stage. This most prosaic appearance disappointed everyone's expectations, and I didn't see any amazing cultivation and any peerless faces. The teenagers couldn't hide the loss in their hearts. Li Yao's eyes lit up: "This is the bearing that a person in the Heavenly Realm should have." But why is Mr. Mao a woman?"

The young man who had admonished her before heard this like an idiot: "Mr. is an honorific title, and when the twelve branches of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion are outside, the world respects them as sir." ”

Li Yao saw that the young man seemed to understand a lot, so he asked again: "Why is she wearing a mask, is she very ugly?"

The young man was even more angry when he heard this: "Mr. Mao is the most beautiful woman in the world, you are not allowed to insult my goddess like this!"

"Then why is she wearing a mask?"

"Not only Mr. Mao, but all the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion are wearing masks. I heard that as soon as I entered the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, I had to give up everything in the past, no matter my identity and name, or my original sect, and I would no longer show my true face from now on. It's a pity that the peerless face of my goddess can only be seen in the portrait. When the young man said this, he looked pained.

Li Yao looked funny and deliberately teased him: "Mr. Mao is a great cultivator in the Heavenly Realm, and he is at least seventy or eighty years old. Even if she used to be a beauty, I'm afraid she is a kind old lady now. ”

When the young man heard the word kindness, he was like being bombarded by thunder, and hurriedly said a negative speech: "No! Absolutely not! Mr. Mao is proficient in medical Taoism, and he must have taken the elixir of immortality." Besides, the lifespan of the Heavenly Realm power is more than twice that of us ordinary people, and she must still be the same as when she was a girl!"

Li Yao laughed, looking at Mr. Mao on the stage, although he was wearing plain clothes, he could not hide his graceful figure, although he was wearing a mask, he showed a good look, and he must have been extremely beautiful. Li Yao carefully looked at her mask, the pottery mask was black on a white background, and there was a black inscription on her forehead: "This mask is chic, and I will wear it the same in the future." ”

Master Zhou and the elders sat down in the middle of Mr. Mao, and then sat down. Then the master of ceremonies sang loudly: "Now I have a speech, please speak!"

Zhou Jianye got up, straightened his sleeves, and walked to the front of the stage. The elite disciples on the stage immediately took the lead in applauding, and the teenagers in the audience also applauded. Zhou Jianye pressed down with both hands, signaling that it was okay, and then said in a thick and square voice: "The spring breeze warms up, and a hundred flowers are blooming." On today's day of clear weather and gentle wind, our Shouyuan faction ushered in the opening ceremony of the decade. The Shouyuan faction has been established for more than 1,120 years, and it has been prosperous for a long time, which is inseparable from the hard work of all generations of heroes and heroes, and it is inseparable from the care and support of Tiandi Pavilion all the time. Far from the ancestors of the ......"

Li Yao felt bored when he heard these words, and when he looked at the elders in the stands who closed their eyes and recuperated their minds, he was even more unhappy in his heart: Why are they all sitting, but we have to stand to suffer this sin. He pulled a chair out of his bosom and sat down. This action stunned the young people next to them: What kind of gentleman is this, he actually carries a Qiankun bag! He actually has a chair in the Qiankun bag! No, he actually did such a rebellious thing on such an important occasion!

Li Tian was anxious, afraid of being seen by the people above, and wanted to pull his sister up. Li Yao didn't care at all: "Do you want to sit on it too?" I still have a stool here, do you want to?" Li Tian listened but wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, how could he stand up to such an unruly sister, so he had to ignore her, stand up straight, and listen carefully to the speech of Master Zhou.

"Today, my Shouyuan faction has produced many talents, and Zhong Ming is prosperous, ranking among the twelve major factions, competing for power between heaven and earth. Li Yao was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, obviously he was the last of the twelve factions, and he seemed to be the most powerful of the twelve factions. Li Yao didn't sit anymore and lay down directly.

"Today, my Shouyuan faction has opened the mountain gate, recruiting young heroes from all states, and all those who enter my mountain gate are expected to become official disciples of our faction. Those who wish to become disciples of our sect should always keep in mind the entrustment of their ancestors, inherit the glorious traditions, practice hard, work hard, and contribute to the development and growth of our Shouyuan faction! Teenagers who fail to become disciples of our sect should not be discouraged...... (Hundreds of words omitted here)" Li Yao shook his head when he heard this, there is a lot of nonsense in this head, it is already noon, and he has been talking there, and he doesn't say that he will arrange food for us. Thinking about it, he took out a jar of wine from his arms and drank it himself, grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate it.

The young man next to him was so frightened when he saw Li Yao's actions that he brought a chair to lie down, and even dared to drink, was it really blind on the stage? But no one dared to dissuade him, and it would not be good if he was involved. Li Tian had the intention to dissuade him, but Li Yao ignored him, and Li Tian was so anxious that his heart was like a cat, and he looked at the stage for a while, and then looked at Li Yao, for fear that his sister's action would be seen by the people above and blamed him.

At this time, Li Yao's movements had already been seen by some elders and elite disciples on the stage, but the head of the sect was speaking, and it was difficult for them to come forward to rectify the discipline below. Some deacons outside the venue saw it, and it was not easy to come directly, for fear of causing a riot and attracting more people's attention, but it would ruin the ceremony.

Master Zhou saw it, but he was talking about it, and he couldn't stop it for this little thing. Mr. Mao looked at Li Yao but smiled rarely: "This girl is interesting." ”

"The two assessments in the afternoon will determine the stay of the young Junjie present. Here, I would like to make three brief points. First, we must have the courage to move forward. It is important to know that we cultivators are sailing against the current, and if we don't have the heart to win, everything will be vain. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and the brave took the lead. For more than a thousand years, how many heroes have been in the Shouyuan faction have suppressed their peers and competitors in all kinds of battles, and struggled to move forward, so that they have stepped into the position of the strong...... (1,000 words omitted here)" Li Yao yawned as he listened: "I finally made up for a night's sleepiness, and I was sleepy by you again." He simply put away the wine jar, closed his eyes and took a nap.

"The second is to win without being arrogant, and to have a modest and cautious mentality. The sages said: Heaven is full but not overflowing, winning but not arrogant, and working hard without holding on to its merits. Although we cultivators act against the heavens and strive for victory, we should not be complacent because of a momentary victory...... (1,000 words are also omitted here) "Li Yao has fallen asleep deeply, exactly: Zhou Gongxiang is talking happily, and the Nine Heavens Galaxy is in a dream."

"The third is to be defeated without being discouraged, and to have the ambition not to fall into the clouds. The path of cultivation will inevitably suffer some setbacks, and if the Dao heart is not strong and frustrated is not moving forward, it is a self-cut immortal path. It is necessary to know that the sword is sharpened, Mei Fu is bitter cold, and if he does not experience the grinding of failure, how can he succeed in the future...... (1,000 words omitted here) "Li Yao was blinded by the sun, turned sideways, and continued to sleep.

"Teacher, so preach and teach and solve doubts. As the head of the Shouyuan faction, I will work with all the elders, teachers, and deacons to cultivate and teach you with all my heart. Let us work hand in hand to create a more brilliant Shouyuan faction!" Zhou Zhangmen finally finished his speech, and the applause at the scene was thunderous and enduring.

Li Yao was woken up by the applause and sat up: "Is it over?" Li Tian took advantage of this gap to quickly pull her up and asked her to put away the chair. Li Yao was a little reluctant, but he couldn't stand his brother's serious insistence: "Hey, it's so old-fashioned now, how can you really enter this Shouyuan faction in the future." ”

The master of ceremonies' voice sounded again: "Please give Mr. Mao a lecture below!"

Li Yao held his forehead: "Come again, spare me." ”

Mr. Mao's voice was soft, but it clearly reached everyone's ears: "Cultivation is not easy, and everyone cherishes it." ”

Everyone waited for the following, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Mr. Mao say another half a word. Master Zhou couldn't help but ask Mr. Mao for instructions, but she shook her head and signaled that she was finished. Now everyone wondered, just now Master Zhou spoke for an hour, but your old man only said a total of eight words, which is too "cherishing words like gold". Only Li Yao was very happy: "Sure enough, this Mr. Mao is pleasing to the eye, if you want to find a master, you have to find such a person, and there are not many words." Thinking of his cheap master, who was also very powerful and didn't talk much, he sighed faintly.

Then the master of ceremonies came forward to announce some rules for the afternoon assessment, and announced the official end of the opening ceremony. The teenagers disbanded on the spot, and walked happily to the training ground of the assessment.

There was a flying boat high in the distance in the sky, which could not be seen by outsiders because of the concealed formation. Tong Laosan was still drinking endlessly: "How did the girl who used to be so lively and lovely become so talkative and cold now?"

Xi Lao Wu hurriedly glanced at Tong Laosan, asked him not to speak, and turned the conversation again: "Li Yao, this girl is really naughty, and she dares to drink and sleep on this occasion." ”

"Hahahaha, you don't look at whose apprentice it is! my baby apprentice is so different......" Sure enough, as soon as Li Yao was mentioned, Tong Laosan came to the uproar, and praised Li Yao endlessly, and praised his discerning vision by the way.

"Then you have to be careful, don't really let her enter the Shouyuan faction, then it will be troublesome. Xi Lao Wu deliberately reminded him kindly.

Tong Laosan was so anxious that he immediately jumped up: "That's not good! Whoever dares to rob my apprentice will beat him!"

Boss Jin patted his belly and walked over: "The fifth child is too, why do you always make fun of the third child." Third child, you are relieved, didn't you see that girl deliberately hid her cultivation when she entered the mountain gate, I'm afraid she didn't have the intention of entering this Shouyuan faction. With her wild nature, even if she goes in, I bet she will come out in less than a day. ”

"Then big brother, what do you think we should do next, we can't just keep watching like this, right?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Ling'er's girl is here, let's not make a move easily. ”

When Yin Lao Er heard Ling'er's words, his heart felt like he had been stung, he no longer looked at the Shouyuan faction, turned around, hid his face and bowed his head and walked to the cabin: "Damn, it's so windy today!"
