Chapter 55: The Past
After Jin Si and Guangxu sat down, Jinguang Temple not only did not decline, but produced many talents. Several of Jin Si's disciples, that is, the five disciples of Guangxu's own lineage, have entered the realm of secret sects, and the disciples of all generations in the temple are also elites, coupled with the moral conduct of the disciples in the temple, advocating the benevolence of the world, and the prestige of Jinguang Temple is also increasing. The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty specially issued a decree that the presiding officer of the Jinguang Temple was the national teacher of the Southern Tang Dynasty for generations. If there is no war, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty will come to the temple every year to make incense. In the imperial palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, several disciples of Jinguang Temple have been serving as worshippers and are highly respected.
However, as the old saying goes, prosperity must decline, and the moon will be lost. Three hundred years ago, Jinguang Temple finally attracted a tragedy, the host at that time for some reason actually fell into the demon path during the retreat and cultivation, a few years later, he broke through, and was caught off guard, and the three beginner secret sect realm disciples who greeted the presiding over the exit were instantly poisoned. Subsequently, most of the secret masters and disciples of the secret master realm in the temple at that time in Jinguang Temple were lost in the hands of this host, who usually seemed to be humble and approachable. Although later, the host of the demonic Dafa was besieged and killed by several secret sect elders who heard the news, but after this catastrophe, except for a few middle-level secret sect realm elders who were seriously injured, the Jinguang Temple almost lost its elite and collapsed. As for why this host was suddenly swallowed by demons, it has also become an unsolved case in the nearby secret world.
After more than two hundred years in this way, Jinguang Temple has not improved at all, if it is not for the surrounding sects have more or less received the favor of Jinguang Temple in the past, and have been unwilling to take advantage of people's danger, I am afraid that even this temple door can not be kept. After all, "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", the wealth accumulated by Jin Si and Guangxu and the secret sects of Jinguang Temple in the past dynasties is very tempting. At the height of the temple, no one dared to make up its mind, and after its decline, it became more and more like a lamb on the case.
This day was the last day for the various sects in the Lin Mo Mountains to recruit new disciples. Because these sects are located in the vast and treacherous mountains, and there are fierce beasts in the depths of the mountains from time to time, these fierce beasts are bloodthirsty, coming and going like the wind, not to mention mortals, even high-level secret people are also very troublesome, so the various factions made an agreement thousands of years ago to transport a large number of children with congenital secret vorts selected by the subordinate gangs in the mortal world into a canyon in the forest desert mountain range every seven days, and the various factions and these children will choose each other. This agreement was originally initiated by the Guangxu monks of Jinguang Temple, but now Jinguang Temple has to rely on the support of other sects in order to obtain one or two disciples whose qualifications are barely good.
In the secret world, everything is based on strength. Although there are many sects, there is an order after all. A beginner-level secret sect against a high-level secret sect can barely support dozens of rounds before it will be defeated. Some sects may have only one secret sect in charge, while others may have several or more than a dozen secret sect powerhouses. Therefore, when accepting disciples, the order of each selection is sorted according to the strength of each sect.
Sects with the power of the Secret Venerable do not participate in this kind of activity, and they can choose disciples from their subordinate sects and sects at will or choose their own. The gangs in the rivers and lakes are all subordinate to the door. The Gang Harmony Association does not have the qualifications to retain the secret and does not participate in the selection. The rest, naturally, is carried out first by the sect, and then by the subordinate door.
Although the name of Jinguang Temple is "Temple", it has always been the Jinguang Sect in the secret world, and for a while it almost became the Jinguang Sect. For a long time, Jinguang Temple was the first choice when recruiting disciples, but now it has to be ranked behind all the sects, almost tied with the sects one level lower than the sects. Therefore, when it was the turn of Jinguang Temple, there were almost no qualified disciples. Although the rest of the disciples have secret spins and can also cultivate, their potential is much worse than those who were picked away. These disciples who can barely cultivate are often reserved for the sect.
Seeing the situation in front of them, the hearts of the people in Jinguang Temple became more and more miserable. Without potential disciples, it would be difficult to improve the strength of the sect. In this way, when the only secret sect elder left behind in the temple sits down, the Jinguang Temple will become the Jinguang Gate.
Just when the faces of the several Secret Master Stage Elders who came to select the disciples were sad, they saw a few disciples in the temple flying over, and when they saw a few elders, they said bitterly: "Senior Uncle Ancestor has just sat down and ascended to Bliss. "The senior uncle in this disciple's mouth is the only remaining Secret Sect Elder in the temple.
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was sitting at the table stood up, their faces full of grief and disbelief. As the only remaining secret sect of Jinguang Temple, this elder has been supported by him alone for several crises in the temple, and now even his old man has sat down, which means that the title of Jinguangzong has temporarily disappeared, and it has been replaced by Jinguangmen. From then on, the road to Jinguang Temple will inevitably become more difficult. For a moment, everyone stood silently, bowing their heads and saying nothing, and almost the entire valley was filled with a sad and oppressive atmosphere.
Suddenly, I saw another disciple flying over, his face was extremely strange, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he seemed to be crying instead of crying. The elder at the head couldn't help frowning, and when he heard the bad news in the temple, he was moved for a while, and shouted: "Panicked, what kind of system!"
The disciple was stunned for a moment when he heard the elder scolding, and then he was slightly happy, and said respectfully, "Elder Qiqi, among the disciples who went up the mountain on their own today, I found a middle-grade secret treasure inheritance disciple!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, and they almost couldn't believe it. Several elders inquired carefully about the disciple's situation at that time before they were convinced. On weekdays, I am afraid that I would have already cheered at this time, but the elders in the temple have just sat down, and this sadness and joy make everyone not know how to express themselves.
With a wave of his hand, the leader took a few newly selected disciples, said hello to the other sects, and hurriedly flew towards the temple without waiting for the selection to end.
It turns out that the achievements of the secret are largely related to their qualifications. Among the various excellent qualifications, there is a body called inheritance, which is the obsession of the powerful secret person, bringing a natal secret treasure into the body and reincarnating again, and part of the cultivation and secret techniques of a lifetime will be stored in this secret treasure. Depending on the level of the secret treasure, there will be differences in the integrity of the stored cultivation and secret arts. This disciple is a middle-grade secret treasure inheritance, far above the ordinary magic weapon inheritance and the relatively rare low-grade secret treasure inheritance.
In the secret world, the secret treasure is an extremely rare thing, as a secret sect, although there are more or less secret treasures, but basically low-grade secret treasures, as for the medium-grade secret treasures, most of them are possessed by the secret honor. This often means that this disciple's previous life is very likely to be a secret powerhouse, and at the very least, he is also a secret powerhouse. If nothing else, relying on some accumulation in his previous life, this disciple would easily be able to reach the realm of the Secret Sect, and it would be difficult to say that he would even break through to the realm of the Secret Venerable. This means that it is possible for Jinguang Temple to restore the Jinguang Sect at least and become a Jinguang Sect.
