0011 Introductory Assessment
The Jinyun and other wind Taiji and the scribe who turned into the Dapeng bird jumped off its back, and then flew away and disappeared without a trace. With a slight wave of the scribe's arm, a wide gray-white robe was draped over Feng Taiji's body, which fit perfectly. Under his guidance, the two of them crossed a winding path paved with bluestone, and reached the foot of a towering platform.
"This place is called Dengxian Altar, and it is the gateway to my Penglai Immortal Sect!" the scribe turned to Feng Taiji and introduced.
Feng Taiji saw the appearance of the scribe clearly at this time, he was a middle-aged man with a polite manner, a wisp of clear beard, two sword eyebrows, and at this moment he changed into a pale yellow robe, which looked gentle and warm, and he did have the appearance of a fairy bone and wind.
"Haven't asked for the name of the immortal yet?" Feng Taiji was still a little uncomfortable with his own green hair, subconsciously teased it, and then hugged his fists and asked the scribe for advice.
"Please go up to the altar!" the scribe did not answer, but smiled and guided Feng Taiji to continue climbing the stairs.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Feng Taiji shrugged his shoulders boringly, and didn't care, Qingluan stood on his shoulder and laughed.
Soon the two of them and a bird went up to the altar of Dengxian, and there were two young boys at the entrance to greet them. The scribe took a token from his sleeve and handed it to a boy, who examined it carefully, nodded, and handed it back to the scribe.
"Feng Taiji, my mission is complete, don't leave it here, there will be a period later!" The scribe didn't wait for Feng Taiji to react, he took off into the air, turned into a golden eagle, and flew away.
"Feng Tai Chi, Gouyu Mountain?" one of the boys asked.
"I'm Feng Taiji!"
"Verify the body, put away the bamboo card, and go to the lower left of the immortal altar to wait for the immortal master's assessment!" said the boy, handing over a palm-sized bamboo card, and then pointed in the direction and said.
"Thank you!" Feng Taiji didn't ask much, took the bamboo card, and the gray and white robe on his body immediately turned earthy yellow, and it seemed that the texture had become rougher.
Feng Taiji carefully looked at the bamboo plaque and found that it was engraved with twisted hieroglyphs, but he did not feel jerky at all, but was very familiar with it, and seemed to have been born with these characters.
I saw that the shape of the bamboo plaque was square, and there was an image of a bird's body and a human face carved around it, and there was only one "Xin" word on the front, I don't know what it meant. On the reverse side is engraved with the words Gouyu Mountain, Feng Taiji, and Eighteen Years, which should be the personal information of Feng Taiji. What makes Feng Taiji strange is that he should be twenty-eight years old, but he is eighteen years old on the bamboo card.
Ten years younger is always a good thing, Feng Taiji smiled and didn't realize anything wrong.
At this moment, there are not a few people of all colors on the altar, almost all of them are young people in their teens and twenties, gathering in twos and threes to talk or whisper. Although everyone was wearing the same style of Taoist robes, but the colors were different, and the person standing in the center of the Ascending Immortal Altar was dressed in a white robe, full of spirit, and sang loudly. On the left and right of it, stood men in green robes and gray robes. In the lower left and right corners of the very edge, they are all wearing earthy yellow Taoist robes that follow the trend of Tai Chi, and these people look uneasy and silent.
Feng Taiji slowly walked to the lower left corner with Qingluan and greeted those yellow-robed teenagers with a smile. But those teenagers didn't dare to respond, glanced at Feng Taiji indifferently, and then lowered their heads and stood silently. Compared with the high-spirited white-robed people in the center of the stone altar, these yellow-robed people, although they are also immature-looking teenagers, they seem timid and cowardly, dull, and even a little obscene and inferior.
"Whoa-" A melodious bell rang, and everyone stopped talking, holding their breath, not daring to whisper.
Layers of colorful clouds gathered in the sky above the altar, and there were one or several immortals standing at each colored cloud, or wearing a sword, or holding a fan, or carrying a bow, or picking up floating dust. The immortal is accompanied by tigers, goshawks, silver wolves, fairy deer, cranes and other strange beasts.
"The decree of the sect: Cover from Pangu to open Hongmeng, the four seas and eight directions, Penglai Sect follows the will of the Three Emperors, subdues the East China Sea, preaches the people, teaches the immortal law, and protects the Emperor of Heaven. So every thirteen years, recruit young people from all over the world, teach mystic thaumaturgy, and review the world's talents to think that believers ......" A confessor descended from the height of the clouds to ascend the immortal altar, holding a jade butterfly, and read aloud.
The young people who ascended the immortal altar hurriedly bowed down and received the decree in unison.
"This year's assessment method is no different from the previous one, you are divided into levels, dived into the East China Sea, and returned to the immortal altar within three days. A and B are victorious if they catch the snake and return; C and D are victorious if they catch the snake and return; they win if they catch the beast and return from the beast; and Gengxin is a winner if they catch the fish and return. The admonitor continued to give instructions in a loud voice, but did not explain in detail, as if the young people were to realize themselves.
Feng Taiji was confused when he heard this, obviously the first and second class are respected, but the difficulty is the greatest, but the lowest Gengxin second class only needs to catch the fish to pass the test?
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I've inquired clearly!" Feng Taiji almost forgot Qingluan, who had been silent, and at this time she suddenly whispered softly in her ear.
As soon as the speaker finished speaking, dozens of young people rose into the air and leaped into the sea, most of them wearing white robes, and a few wearing green robes. Most of the people in the green robes and almost all the people in the gray robes also rushed into the ocean with the help of the flying magic weapons they carried with them. Only the yellow-robed ones crowded down the steps and ran to the beach.
Feng Taiji can also fly at low altitude for a short time, but he only slowly falls to the end, and when everyone has left Dengxiantai, he leaves with Qingluan.
"Brother Feng, it seems that this Penglai Immortal Sect is not a paradise on earth, full of shady scenes and inequality. Did you see that all the teenagers from all sides who were recruited were divided into eight levels. The first and second classes are dressed in white robes, most of them are the descendants of famous families in the four seas, and there may also be descendants of the hidden clans of the Central Plains, these people have noble status, and their own strength is also extraordinary. They need to go into the sea to capture and kill the dragon, and then they can become the core disciples of the Immortal Sect, and they will be accepted by the sect leader and elders......" Qingluan Bird whispered in Feng Taiji's ear.
"What kind of dragon is the dragon?, but is it as powerful as the dragon?" Feng Taiji asked in a hateful voice as he thought of the blue dragon that destroyed Goyu Mountain.
"Naturally, it can't be compared, Ao Yan is just a juvenile dragon, and he is infinitely powerful. And the King of the Dragons is one of the twelve true dragons, and he is powerful all over the world. This dragon is called a dragon, but it is actually a snake, and its strength is far inferior to Ao Yan. When it comes to Ao Wei, Qingluan's expression is gloomy, not as lively as usual.
"Qingwa'er, don't worry, one day, you will kill that demon dragon and avenge the old patriarch and Haisheng!"
"Well, I believe you!" Qingluan flapped his wings a few times and continued, "Bing Ding and the second rank wear green robes, they should be the children of medium-sized sect families in various places, and they expect to enter the Penglai Immortal Sect, learn the supreme Taoism, and glorify the ancestors and improve the lintel." They need to enter the sea to kill the sea snake, and then they can become the inner disciples of the Immortal Sect, and they will be accepted as disciples by the masters of each peak and mountain. Wearing gray robes, they are the talented young men selected by the Immortal Sect on the four seas, and they need to kill the sea beasts to become outer disciples, and have the opportunity to become the backbone of the Immortal Sect. Finally, Gengxin is the second class, just like you, who wears a yellow robe, and those who are generally in a yellow robe can only become a servant when they enter the Immortal Sect, so they only need to kill the sea fish to pass the test. ”
"The Penglai Immortal Sect recruits disciples once every thirteen years, but it only requires us to become servants?" This was a bit unexpected by Feng Taiji.
"That's right, the people in the yellow robe are all teenagers from remote mountain islands like Goyu Mountain, and being able to enter the Penglai Immortal Sect is already a great creation, how can you have other extravagant hopes? Even so, Brother Feng, you are also the first person to be selected in my Goyu Mountain in the past thirty-nine years. Qingluan said proudly.
"And what if I kill the dragon when I enter the sea?"
"I don't know about this, why don't we kill a dragon and see how the immortals of Penglai Mountain choose!" Qingluan fluttered his wings and seemed to be high-spirited.
