Chapter 122: Arrangement
"Okay, all the teachers and nephews, come with me," After speaking, Wu Cheng turned around and walked towards the cyan stone hall in front of the square.
The stone hall is as high as more than ten zhang, it is built by a piece of cyan boulder, the boulder is engraved with various colors of spiritual patterns, it looks extremely mysterious, and there is a plaque that reads three cyan characters of "Asking Heart Palace" above the door of the stone hall.
Wang Changsheng and the other disciples didn't dare to slack off, and quickly followed.
Walking into the stone hall, Wang Changsheng swept his eyes and was slightly stunned.
I saw that in the huge hall, there were several yellow bronze mirrors more than one person high on the left and right sides, Wu Cheng stopped in front of the hall, and the other Taiqing Palace disciples stood aside in two columns.
Wang Changsheng and his entourage consisted of sixty or seventy people, standing in the hall in twos and threes, all eyes focused on Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng looked at the messy queue of new disciples, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Ten people are in a team, stand in line." ”
For Wu Cheng's order, naturally no one among the disciples would dare to disobey it, and the one at the front was the leader, and they stood in several teams, looking much neater.
Seeing this, Wu Cheng nodded, and then said: "Now there is still one final level, only those who pass this level can be regarded as the official disciples of this sect, and now I will issue you a heart talisman, one for each person." ”
As soon as the words fell, the disciples of the Taiqing Palace standing on either side of Wu Cheng walked towards a group of new disciples, handed out a silver talisman seal to each of them, and then stood behind a bronze mirror.
"Is this the rumored Question Talisman?" Wang Changsheng glanced at the silver talisman in his hand, dozens of silver talismans were painted on it, and the Question Talisman was an auxiliary talisman used to judge the truth or falsehood of an immortal cultivator's words.
"Stick the heart talisman in your hand to your body, then I will ask, you answer, don't think about concealing it, the heart mirrors on the left and right sides are not so easy to fool, if you lie, you will be expelled from the sect, or the mana will be abolished, and it will be handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal," Wu Cheng said solemnly.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng and the others felt a big grue, and they slapped the silver talisman seal in their hands on their bodies.
After everyone put on the amulet, the disciples standing behind the bronze mirror cast spells one after another, and all kinds of magic spells hit the bronze mirror, and the yellow light on the surface of the bronze mirror flashed, and each ejected a yellow pillar of light, covering the new disciples in the hall.
More than a dozen yellow pillars of light covered all the new disciples inside.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng looked a little nervous, and the reactions of others were not much better, some people were cramped and uneasy, some people were silent, and some people even looked left and right, looking indifferent.
"Okay, now start answering my question, where are you from, from a family of cultivators or casual cultivators, and do you have any brothers and sisters in your family······ Wu Cheng's gaze swept over everyone, and after confirming that it was correct, he began to ask.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng and dozens of others walked out of the stone hall, took a paper boat more than ten zhang long, and flew towards a certain towering mountain peak.
In the stone hall, there were still seven or eight disciples with panicked expressions, and these people's answers were questionable and needed to be investigated.
And Wang Changsheng and the others who passed the test, as long as they went to receive the entry items and register their names, they would be considered official disciples of the Taiqing Palace.
Not long after, the paper boat carrying Wang Changsheng and others fell in front of a stone tower fifty or sixty zhang high.
"Ladies and nephews, this is the Deacon Tower, this tower has nine floors, each layer has different functions, the first floor is a place to deal with various chores of the sect and assign routine tasks to disciples, the second floor is the place to issue the reward task in the sect, complete the task, you can earn contribution points and spirit stones, as for the third layer, it is a place to exchange contribution points for pills, exercise cheats, spirit stones, and magic weapons, remember, you can't reach the fourth layer without the foundation building period," Wu Cheng said word by word.
At this moment, there were many disciples in and out of the deacon tower, and when they saw Wang Changsheng and the others, they just glanced at it lightly, and then stopped paying attention.
Wang Changsheng was surprised to find that the disciples who entered and exited the stone pagoda were generally under the age of thirty, and there were at least twelve levels of qi refining, which made him secretly frightened, it seemed that the Taiqing Palace was really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Wu Cheng took Wang Changsheng and the others into the gate of the stone tower.
The first floor of the stone tower is a hall of more than ten acres, a circular counter made of precious jade, there are many disciples wearing uniform blue shirts sitting in the counter, and there are more than 100 disciples in green robes standing outside the counter, each disciple in the blue shirt is talking to a disciple in a blue shirt, each disciple in the blue shirt is holding a palm-sized white jade plate in his hand, and occasionally a disciple in the blue shirt takes out a token, crosses it on the jade plate of the blue shirt disciple, and then leaves with a smile on his face.
Wu Cheng didn't stop on the first floor, and walked directly towards the stairs, and Wang Changsheng and the others hurriedly followed.
The second layer is almost exactly the same as the first layer, the difference is that the blue-shirted disciples behind the circular counter are holding red jade plates in their hands, and the blue-robed disciples who have received the task are all leaving in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry.
Coming to the third floor, the blue-shirted disciples behind the circular counter were all white-haired old men, tall, short, fat and thin, without the slightest mana fluctuation on their bodies.
"Senior brothers, I will bring you senior nephews to register and receive the entry items by the way," Wu Cheng walked over and said to these people very politely.
"It's a new apprentice, come to me, I'll register your name and give you the entry things," said an old man with a goatee, very enthusiastically.
"Don't listen to him, my nephews, let me register, and I'll give you talismans," a tall and thin old man waved his hand and spoke.
"Come to me, I'll help you register, it's fast," a black-faced old man looked at Wang Changsheng and the others with a very enthusiastic gaze.
Seeing this scene, a group of new disciples looked at each other, these old men were all foundation building cultivators, and they were so enthusiastic about these Qi refining stage disciples, if they wanted to say that they were not tired, no one would believe it.
For a while, everyone stood in place, no one dared to come forward to register, you look at me, I look at you, they all want others to be this budding bird.
"Okay, senior nephews, you just let your senior brothers register for you! Wait a minute, I'll arrange a residence for you! The more people registered, the more performance, the more spirit stones you can get every month, rest assured, the spirit stones are not deducted from your hands, this is a rule to make the deacon disciples diligent and conscientious," Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and explained to everyone.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and Wang Changsheng nodded secretly.
With this rule, it will be difficult for these deacon disciples to do things well!
Knowing this, someone stepped forward to register, and Wang Changsheng also walked up to a short and fat old man and said his name.
The old man's right hand flipped over, and there was a book-sized jade book in his hand, on which some silver runes were depicted, and a palm-sized white token, with a gossip pattern carved on the front, and the word Taiqing engraved in the upper right corner.
"Drip the essence blood into the jade book and token, so that you can be regarded as an official disciple of this sect," the old man took out an inch-long jade pen, compared it on the jade book for a while, and said to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng nodded, put a finger into his mouth, bit his fingertip, and squeezed out a drop of bright red blood, which dropped onto the jade book.
A soft silver light flashed on the surface of the jade book, and more than a dozen silver runes flashed away, and after the light faded, three blood-colored handwriting of "Wang Changsheng" appeared on the jade book, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Wang Changsheng then dropped another drop of essence blood onto the white token.
The surface of the token flashed white, and there were three small black characters on the lower left corner of the reverse side.
As for the storage bag, there were several pieces of clothes with the marks of the Taiqing Palace, as well as dozens of low-level spirit stones and two middle-level magic weapons, and finally a few jade slips.
A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of Wu Cheng, Wang Changsheng and the others walked out of the stone tower, got on the paper boat again, and flew towards a certain place.
After flying for a cup of tea, the paper boat landed on a lush mountain ridge and landed in a dense building complex, and there was no figure in the entire complex, it seemed that all of them were empty houses, which made the disciples a little puzzled.
These buildings vary in size, some of them cover an area of no more than 100 square meters, some of them cover an area of dozens of acres, and the decoration is also very different, some are just stone houses built with ordinary mountain stone barriers, and some are pavilions and palaces built of carved railings and jade.
"Don't be surprised, these houses are indeed empty, this was originally a place for you new disciples who have just started to live, rest assured, you will live here for twenty years at most, the next time you open the mountain to accept disciples, you will be relocated to other peaks, of course, if you succeed in building a foundation during this period or are accepted as disciples by an elder, you can also move to other peaks to live," Wu Cheng saw everyone's doubts and said lightly.
After listening to this explanation, the look of doubt in everyone's eyes decreased slightly.
"Dare to ask Uncle Wu, do we have the freedom to choose these houses or you to assign them," a young man in white with clear eyebrows asked.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's heart moved, and he set his eyes on Wu Cheng, and the others also focused their eyes on Wu Cheng.
"Hehe, of course, let you choose freely," Wu Cheng smiled and said.
Then, he immediately changed his tone and said: "Of course, it is not for nothing that you will live in, a house that covers an area of less than one acre has to pay the rent of five spirit stones every year, and it can also be converted into equivalent things, and the courtyard that covers an area of more than one acre must pay the rent of ten spirit stones every year, and for each additional acre of area, pay five more pieces, less than one acre is counted as one acre, and if there is a spiritual spring in the courtyard, you must pay an additional thirty spirit stones every year." ”
Hearing this, the brightly dressed disciple showed a eager look on his face, while the relatively shabby-dressed disciple had a sad face, but Wang Changsheng didn't care about it.
He still has more than a thousand spirit stones on his body, so he will naturally not be frightened by this rent, moreover, the aura of heaven and earth here is several times more than that of the outside world, and planting some low-level elixirs with a short maturity period should be able to offset the annual rent, of course, even if the maturity period is short, it will take several years, during this period, the annual rent will have to be paid out of their own pockets, which is also the reason why those shabby-dressed disciples are worried.
