Chapter 275: In the Ancestral Hall
Leaving the house of Shoujing Zhenren, a group of inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were still in a state of boiling blood. If you keep the real people's words, let them feel that this is what the sect expects of them.
They all felt that this was Shoujing Zhenren giving them an order: Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect must not be ashamed! We can't use the disciples of the Spirit Realm to fight and use the realm to suppress people. Even if the other side is a martial arts to enter the Dao, isn't that also a monk who has entered the Dao realm? Don't say that you are entering the Dao realm here, even if the foundation is consummated, it is only one step away from condensing soul power, and there are quite a few monks who have advanced to the spiritual realm!
Everyone is a disciple of a big sect, and they are practicing first-class exercises, why is your Ten Thousand Swords Sect's "Fighting Righteous Method" more powerful? A group of inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect thought in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to fight He Zhi to the death immediately.
And when these disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were gearing up to compete with He Zhi, He Zhi and his party had already followed the little boy who led the way into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Ancestor Hall.
Of course, entering the ancestral hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect does not mean that He Zhi and others must worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to learn the arts.
Because every year when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect opens the mountain gate, the people who come up from the path of seeking immortals are not just seekers who want to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and practice. In addition to these seekers, there are also occasional "mortals" who want to ask the gods for their favor.
For example, hundreds of years ago, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect once encountered a filial son who was seriously ill because his mother was seriously ill, so he prayed sincerely and finally could enter the mountain gate. And because this filial son wanted to go back to serve his mother, he rejected the proposal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and did not worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but went home after seeking the immortal medicine.
Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect itself is a kendo sect, and it does not like to accumulate merits like Ding Lu's Qingyuan Sect, if they really encounter this kind of filial son and grandson with a sincere heart, they will also take into account the most basic face of a righteous sect. As long as they can, they will still help.
Therefore, procedurally speaking, even if He Zhi and the others have walked the path of seeking immortals, it does not mean that they have become the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from now on. Before entering the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had to go through at least one passing motion.
Of course, this kind of filial piety and virtuous grandson refuses to worship the mountain gate, but is only dedicated to seeking immortal medicine for the elders, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has not encountered it for more than a hundred years.
To be honest, the matter of entering the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from the road of seeking immortals, but finally refusing to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, will definitely not be happy for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Isn't that tantamount to a slap in the face?
However, He Zhi can only choose this way now. After all, worshipping the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was definitely an unacceptable choice for He Zhi. He is now a complete break with the Zhang family. If he entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it would be absolutely impossible for that Jindan Ancestor of the Zhang family to watch him grow up step by step.
Because once He Zhi grows up, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the Zhang family!
Even if He Zhi himself entered the Dao with martial arts, he might get all kinds of protection, and even promises, in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. But if a Jindan real person wants to calculate a martial artist who has entered the Dao, there are too many methods and means. He Zhi obviously did not need to take such a risk.
Moreover, He Zhi himself is now too deeply involved with the Beiyue Sword Sect. He Zhi's "Fighting the Fa" alone is a big trouble that cannot be bypassed.
To put it bluntly, the exercises that He Zhi is currently majoring in are one of the fundamental exercises of the Beiyue Sword Sect! If He Zhi honestly does a casual cultivation, for the sake of his friendship with Jiang Yuetian, the Beiyue Sword Sect may still let him go. But if He Zhi actually dared to worship the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, then the Beiyue Sword Sect obviously said that he would have to kill him for anything!
Therefore, for the sake of his own life, it is absolutely impossible for He Zhi to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Even though this decision might have an adverse impact on He Zhi's trip to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this time and cause him great resistance, He Zhi could only choose this.
As for how angry the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would be because of He Zhi's decision, He Zhi could only silently pray that Hu Zhenren, the assistant director, could really travel as widely as he said, and really be able to invite a powerful Ten Thousand Swords Sect real person to say a few words for him.
"When you step into the fairy mountain, you will be invited. Today, in this ancestral hall, you don't have to be restrained. In front of the patriarch, you can be despite the famous words. Since you have walked the road of seeking immortals, you are destined to be a person. My Ten Thousand Swords Sect Patriarch has training, but as long as someone is destined to enter the sect, he can say a request. ”
In the Ancestral Master Hall, a Dao Bone Immortal Dao Master carried a long sword on his back, and said to He Zhi and a group of more than a dozen immortal seekers who had passed the test with an unsmiling attitude.
After the Dao Master finished speaking, a group of people on He Zhi's side glanced at each other a few times, and then one of them walked out: "Immortal Master, the disciple has nothing else to ask for, but to be able to worship under the Immortal Master's disciple." ”
"Hehe, good, good. Since he is a person who is destined, he can naturally be a disciple of this sect. The Dao Master nodded with great satisfaction.
Then he turned his gaze to the others.
Beside He Zhi and the three of them, basically all the companions stepped forward one after another and told the Dao Master that they wanted to worship under the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. The Dao Leader naturally smiled and nodded in approval.
Soon, the Dao Master's gaze fell on He Zhi and his party, and there was still something strange in his sight.
Among the dozen or so new disciples who entered the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from the Immortal Seeking Road this time, only He Zhi and the three of them were left without expressing their position.
Of course, among the three people in He Zhi's line, there is also an old boatman. He had obviously attracted the attention of the Taoist Master even more.
The Dao Master could see at a glance that this old boatman did not have martial arts cultivation, and compared to the others around him, he was even more old. Obviously, he is not a suitable candidate to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to cultivate.
How did this old man enter the mountain gate and come up the mountain? The Taoist leader couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Looking at the Dao Bone Immortal Wind Dao Master looking at him, the old boatman was obviously a little nervous and cramped.
He glanced at He Zhi hesitantly, but he saluted to the Taoist chief with a nervous face and said, "Immortal Chief, the little old man knows that he is not the material for becoming an immortal, so he doesn't dare to ask to enter the immortal gate. It's just that Xiao Lao'er's only son came to Xianmen alone more than ten years ago, and then he didn't go home again. Xiao Lao'er is really worried about his son, and he asked the fairy chief to help Xiao Lao'er inquire, is Xiao Lao'er's son dead or alive now?"
The old boatman was a little nervous at first. But when he talked about his missing son, the old boatman was sad, and he immediately revealed his true feelings and wept bitterly.
"Oh, I see. Don't cry, uncle. Wait for the poor road to calculate for the old man. Listening to the old boatman's cry, the Taoist master immediately felt a little understood.
He felt that the son of this old boatman was probably one of the young men who came to apprentice last time the Ten Thousand Swords Sect opened the mountain gate. Now he is probably already cultivating in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Perhaps, this time, among the outer disciples in Qianshan who were in charge of testing the immortal seekers, someone recognized the identity of this old man, so he secretly let him in.
So, the chief asked the old boatman's name, and made a gesture for him.
However, the result of this divination surprised the Dao grown-up. Because of the results he calculated, the son of this old boatman did not worship under the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but died in the phantom array of Wangtian Island more than ten years ago.
According to the results of the divination, the son of this old boatman is not to mention that he knows the outer disciples on Wangtian Island, I am afraid that he has never even been to Wangtian Island in the East China Sea!
"This ...... Uncle, is the name and character you just gave me correct?" the chief asked again with a cold face.
"That's right. The old boatman nodded in reply.
"If so, your son is dead. The captain shook his head and said to the old boatman.
The captain had no sympathy for the old boatman. For the monks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, every time they opened the mountain gate, they didn't know how many mortals wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to cultivate. I don't know how many mortals will die on the way to seek immortals.
As monks, they naturally regard mortals as ants. They don't care if they live or die at all. Hearing this long answer, although the old boatman had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but cry at this time.
The chief shook his head and continued to look at the next person. The next person within the reach of this long gaze is naturally the second son of Han.
However, when he saw Han Ergongzi, the long brow couldn't help frowning slightly.
With the eyesight of this Taoist master, he could naturally see that Han Ergongzi was a pampered rich child, and he might even be a gentleman! Moreover, his own martial arts cultivation was not very good, and he could only be regarded as a kung fu with a few tricks of a three-legged cat.
Generally speaking, those who came out of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's path of seeking immortals were basically powerful characters. For example, a peerless master who has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, or a world-famous Confucian, an ascetic who is dedicated to seeking the Tao, and so on.
These characters are either extremely gifted in their own right, or they are extremely pious. That's why he was favored and entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect as a mortal.
However, the Dao Master found that there seemed to be something wrong with the path of seeking immortals this time.
Although the seven or eight people in front of them were all the same as in previous years, they were basically some good cultivation seedlings. But in the end, these three people made the Taoist frown a little.
To be honest, this is mainly because the old boatman in front of him has influenced the judgment of the chief. Because the old boatman himself did not have any peculiarities, it was purely by relying on the support of He Zhi and Han Ergongzi that he entered the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Moreover, he himself has no talent for cultivation. In the eyes of this patriarch of the Patriarch Hall, he is naturally useless.
So, since there is already a good-for-nothing old boatman in front, and there is an equally good-for-nothing gentleman in the back, it is naturally logical. So this Taoist leader didn't think much else.
In fact, if there was no foreshadowing from the old boatman in front of him, but if this Taoist leader directly met Han Ergongzi, maybe he would be able to see a little bit of Han Ergongzi's characteristics.
However, at this time, this Taoist chief had no good impression of Han Ergongzi. This could be seen from his frowning brow.
Unlike He Zhi and the old boatman who had other purposes, Han Ergongzi originally came to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Normally, Second Prince Han should have gone out and directly asked the Dao Master to enter the sect like everyone else.
If Han Ergongzi really did it. I'm afraid that the results he got may not be as he wanted!
You must know that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's test for these Dao seekers is not just over after passing through Wangtian Island. Within the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the test for them was still everywhere.
It can be said that these Dao seekers who entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from Wangtian Island, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect gave them far more opportunities than the monks who entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from other ways, but at the same time, the requirements for them were far stricter than those who entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from other ways!
And Han Ergongzi left a bad impression on the Taoist who guarded the ancestral hall because of his temperament, cultivation, etc. According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he has every right to directly pass the second son of Han right here.
However, as He Zhi said a long time ago. Han Ergongzi is a blessed man.
When the Taoist who was guarding the Patriarch Hall looked at Han Ergongzi, he should have stepped forward to bow his head and beg Han Ergongzi to worship in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but somehow he was unhappy to look at this Dao Master.
Perhaps, it was because of this Dao Chief's bad attitude towards the old boatman when he talked about his son's death that Han Er Gongzi felt disgusted, anyway, Han Er Gongzi suddenly felt that this Ten Thousand Swords Sect was not a good place, and he didn't want to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"This immortal master, I just casually traveled to the mountains and rivers and strayed into the immortal mountain. Later, I heard that there were real immortals in the fairy mountain, so I was very curious, so I came to see what the immortals looked like. Immortal Master, if you ask me what I want...... I really don't. Oh, if there is any elixir that can live forever, it would be best if you could give me one. ”
Han Ergongzi has always been a bold man, once he makes up his mind, he is really not afraid of heaven and earth!
In front of this immortal master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, even those peerless martial artists who were already in the realm of rebirth didn't even dare to take a breath, but Han Ergongzi still had a hippie smile on his face, and he didn't take the other party seriously!
After Han Ergongzi's nonsense with a hippie smile, the Taoist leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect guarding the Ancestral Master Hall was already about to turn white.
To be honest, he has been guarding the Patriarch Hall for almost 30 years, and he has never seen a character like Han Ergongzi!
What do you mean that I just walk around casually and see what the immortals look like? Is the mountain gate of their Ten Thousand Swords Sect a place where you can come and leave as you say?
