Chapter 24: Undercurrents

"Hahahaha, the weather is nice today...... In other words, on the day when our Lingxiao Sect introduced the newcomer disciples, the spring flowers bloomed and the sky was high and the clouds were wide, which was a good sign, maybe in the future, a few talents would come out from these newcomers. ”

A burst of laughter accompanied these words, Kang Chen walked over from the side at some point, came to the middle of the two, and said to Wang Yan and Gan Wenqing with a smile, obviously coming to play a round.

Wang Gen looked up at the blue sky and said, "The weather in Haizhou has always been like this in April, there is nothing strange about it, it is not a good sign. ”

Kang Chen was stunned, and he couldn't go on with the words in the back, although he knew that this senior brother had always been like this, he still couldn't help but glare at him at this moment.

Wang Gan turned a blind eye, and after a moment of silence, he hugged his fist to Gan Wenqing and said: "Senior Sister Gan, I am a rough person, if there is anything inappropriate in the words of the appropriate person and I offend the senior sister, I will compensate you first." ”

Gan Wenqing frowned, but she stepped aside and refused to accept this Wang Gan's salute, and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you are Elder Sun's proud disciple, and your Taoism is profound and you have won the respect of the senior brothers in the sect, I can't afford it." ”

Wang Gan smiled, his eyes turned, and fell on the young men who were talking and laughing in the crowd in the distance, especially on Gan Ze, who seemed to be the focus of everyone, and said, "That young man, is he the son of the Gan family?"

"His name is Ganze. ”

Wang Yan nodded, turned his head to look at Gan Wenqing, with a bit of sincerity on his face, with his originally resolute face, he actually had his own outstanding bearing for a while, and said: "Senior sister, you and I know the rules of these newcomer disciples in the sect. One day before the realm of Ning Yuan, it was circled on the six islands of herring, and no external help was allowed, which was a strict order set by the patriarch of this sect two hundred years ago. What we do is to abandon many entanglements, so that all the new disciples, whether they are born into a big family or ordinary people, are placed at the same beginning, so that we can really see which of these new disciples have talents, roots, hearts, and perseverance that are indispensable for cultivation. All of this is actually for their good, but also for the good future of the sect. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gen paused slightly, looked at Gan Wenqing, and said softly: "You and I, both of us, came out of the 'Blue Fish Six Islands' together back then, and we have to practice all the way to achieve today's achievements, I don't believe in this truth, Senior Sister Lingyun, you don't understand." Xu is junior sister, you may have other concerns in your heart, you might as well make it clear to me. ”

Gan Wenqing's eyes lowered slightly, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you have always been well-read and well-read, and I admire Senior Sister, and I also know the relationship between me and the Gan family." ”

Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I know a little bit about it." ”

Gan Wenqing said lightly: "Then senior brother, you must also understand that although I am not the bloodline of the Gan family, I am just a dying girl who was picked up by the kind-hearted Gan Ze Niang back then, but for many years, the Gan family has regarded me as my own daughter, and Gan Ze's mother has treated me like a biological sister, this kindness is like the sea, and I will not be able to repay it in my life." Now Gan Ze is the last little blood left of my deceased sister, and when she was leaving, I made a vow before the sickbed to take good care of her only son. This point of heart, senior brother should be able to understand one or two. ”

The king bowed his head, but did not answer.

Gan Wenqing sighed lightly and said, "What Senior Brother Fang Cai said is reasonable, if it is really true that this group of newcomer disciples will go to that Qingyu Island without discrimination, I will never say anything, but now that there are so many children of the family, I am only afraid of ......"

Before the words fell, I saw Wang Yan frowning suddenly, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Senior sister, be cautious." ”

Gan Wenqing glanced at Wang Gan, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but there was no annoyance on her face, and her expression was still indifferent. After a while, I only heard Wang Gen say lightly: "Don't hide it from Senior Sister, before leaving the mountain today, several elders in the sect have already discussed this matter, and this round of five-year period, the person who presides over the affairs of the six islands of Qingyu has been decided to be me." ”

Gan Wenqing raised her head suddenly, obviously taken aback, and said in amazement: "What, wasn't it Senior Brother Du who was originally decided?"

For the first time, Wang Gan's face showed a seemingly helpless expression, and he smiled bitterly, and said: "Senior Brother Du has always been unruly, but three days ago, he had a big disaster, and he disobeyed the elder of the family, and after being persuaded to leave, he still didn't give up, and he scolded loudly, and his words were ugly, and that's it, but outside of his words, he even scolded a few words about his uncle's ancestor......

Rao is Gan Wenqing has always been calm and knows a lot about the most famous senior brother in the sect, but when he heard this, especially after hearing the number of "Senior Uncle Ancestor", he still gasped, and his face was pale. Wang Yan sighed and said: "After this incident became a big problem, the head of the family was furious, and he personally captured Senior Brother Du, and after heavy punishment, he was directly punished to the Black Cloud Cave, making him face the wall for three years. So this mess finally came to me. ”

Gan Wenqing was silent, as if she was still digesting the shock of this important news, and muttered for a while: "I didn't expect that I had only been down the mountain for a few days, and such a big thing happened on the mountain." ”

Wang Yan smiled bitterly, then turned pale, and said: "Senior Sister Wenqing, we have been in the same family for many years, and it was the same round of newcomer disciples who came out of the six islands of the herring fish back then, and there was some incense. I will put down a sentence here, as long as I am in charge of the six islands of Qingyu in the past four years, I dare not say that everything must be impartial, but at least I will never deliberately embarrass your son of the Gan family, let alone allow other children of the family to violate the rules of the sect and secretly borrow strength, I don't know if you believe me?"

Gan Wenqing wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Yan glanced at her, and then continued: "I understand your concerns, but it is a strict order of the sect to prohibit the disciples from interfering in the affairs of the newcomers of the Qingyu Six Islands. Although Senior Sister Wen Qing, you are now diligent in your Taoism and are valued in the eyes of several elders, but if you insist on interfering for this reason, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate. ”

The expression on Gan Wenqing's face kept changing, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyebrows, obviously moved by Wang Gan's words, in fact, she did understand in her heart that what Wang Gan said was indeed reasonable, after all, the rules of the sect were like that. Thinking about it, she unconsciously looked at the back of the Baixian Rock, only to see that the number of young people on the rock seemed to have increased a lot, there should be some newcomers who had just arrived here, and the scale had exceeded more than three hundred people.

Among these newcomers, only a few went directly to the circle in the center of the crowd, a small number of people stood in the second circle, and most of the newcomers stood in the outermost place with ignorance.

These newcomers may not know yet, but Gan Wenqing and Wang Gan, who have a high status in the Lingxiao Sect, only looked at it for a moment and already knew it, including Gan Ze and Sun You and others, the twenty or thirty teenagers who were different from each other were all born in the children of the big families of the Lingxiao Sect, and they were the seven or eight most powerful. If the strength of the family is a little weaker, it can only stand in the circle of the second layer.

A small private circle, on the first day before entering the sect, there was actually a faint outline shown, and today's young man is really thinking very heavy.

Gan Wenqing's bright eyes flickered, looking at Gan Ze calmly among those young people from the family, chatting with the people around him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at ease, and somehow relieved a lot in his heart. Think about it, although there are undercurrents inside and outside the sect now, and there are many vassal families who have a special status for the Gan family for many years, and it is said that they have quite a lot of opinions, but the Gan family is not so easy to bully, even if it is no longer the glory of the heyday of the past, but there is also an elder of the Yuan Dan Realm in the sect to suppress the formation, and in any case, the ancestor of the founding faction back then was also surnamed Gan after all, these vassal families, in the end, what qualifications do they have to exclude others?

Seriously, some discerning people or family elders see the courtesy of many elders and seniors in the sect to the Gan family, and they will privately explain that their children want to have a good relationship with the son of the Gan family.

As soon as she thought of this, Gan Wenqing turned around, nodded to Wang Gan and said, "What Senior Brother said is very true, it is Wenqing who is impetuous, does not know what is going on, and has been taught. Everything is according to the rules, if there is no accident, I will not interfere in the affairs of the newcomer, let Gan Ze suffer some tempering, and it is also good for him. ”

Wang Gen smiled and nodded, but he was relieved in his heart, the woman in front of him was extremely talented, and her Dao cultivation was even more courageous and diligent, not inferior to herself, and she was also valued and liked by several sect elders. If she forcibly wants to meddle in the affairs of Qingyu Liudao, although she is not afraid, she must also have a bad headache.

※※※

After Shen Shi stood in place for almost half an hour, he saw that there were no newcomers on the stone steps, and after a while, even the two Lingxiao Sect disciples standing at the foot of the mountain also walked up, it seemed that today's newcomers had already arrived.

The two disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who walked on the boulder waved their hands from afar to Wang Yan and Gan Wenqing who were standing in front of them, and there was a quick response from there, and after a while, a calm voice came, echoing above the Baixian Rock, and said, "Be quiet." ”

This voice was thick and grand, it was the same voice that had sounded once before, and the person who spoke could see clearly at this time that it was Wang Gan. After his voice, many young people who were originally chatting and laughing on the Baixian Rock suddenly fell silent, Wang Yan took a step forward, his eyes ejaculated, swept through the crowd, many teenagers were intimidated by his might, and no one dared to look at him for a while, and lowered his head one after another.

Wang Gen didn't say anything, but simply said: "The time has come, and the newcomer disciples have also arrived, return to the mountain!"

After finishing speaking, he strode around and walked to the front of Baixian Rock, his hands were like balls, and suddenly he saw a white light flickering between his palms, and after a while, it seemed to resonate with the rock under his feet, and a circular golden formation actually lit up under his feet.

The golden light flickered, reflecting those ancient and complicated formations more and more mysterious and reckless, and between the endless blue sky and sea breeze, it seemed that at this moment, there were also ancient Sanskrit chanting bursts, like ancient gods chanting in a low voice, an invisible but abundant huge force, emanating from the depths of this huge rock.

On the flat boulder face, along the entire circle around, dozens of identical circular golden formations lit up one by one, and in the center of each formation, there was exactly a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect standing, everyone was solemn and upright at the moment, and their movements were all like Wang Gan, concentrating and casting spells.

A moment later, dozens of golden pillars of light roared from the top of this huge rock, like thunder, straight into the blue sky, the Sanskrit sound suddenly high, resounding through the sea of clouds, the huge immortal rock rumbling, incredibly slowly floating in the air, the immortal magic power, in the world again.

After the initial silence, there was an instant jubilation on the Immortal Worship Rock, and the hundreds of teenagers were all cheering, obviously the unbelievably magnificent Immortal Dao Method was the earth-shattering magic displayed by the Lingxiao Sect of Jinhong Mountain, and with the rise of the Worship Immortal Rock, it also indicated that they were about to officially embark on the Dao of Xiuzhen from today onwards.

In the future, thousands of weather and magnificent prospects seem to be unfolding in front of the eyes of all the teenagers at this moment, how can it not make people excited and happy?

Listening to the laughter and shouts of the teenagers behind him, Wang Gen and Gan Wenqing glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were swept into a smile.

In the crowd, Shen Shi's expression was much calmer than the happy teenagers around him, but there was still a bit of joy in his eyes, and he stared deeply at the magical and magnificent scene around him.

The ethereal immortal mountain, the avenue of cultivating immortals, seems to be really close at hand.
