Chapter 31: Life at the Outer Gate
Xuanyu Mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From afar, the mountains are green and steep, like a winding dragon lying quietly and sleeping. Faintly visible among them, there is a waterfall flowing spring, steaming up a milky white cloud, the mist is swirling, revealing the dark green mountain, covering the continuous carved eaves and paintings. Its mountains are majestic, the palaces are exquisite, if there are mortals who strayed into it, I am afraid that they will think that this is the immortal jade Yu descended into the mortal world.
The bamboo boat swayed and stopped in mid-air, and you could already see the next sword-shaped houses in the distance, but they did not fall. Facing the expectant and puzzled eyes of many outer disciples, Xu Yi smiled, raised his hand and drew a few strokes in the air, striking a golden-red rune.
As soon as this rune broke away from Xu Yi's fingertips, it suddenly burned a divine fire downward in the air. The flames spread across the entire mountain, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of fiery red, causing many disciples on the bamboo boat to gasp. However, this fire is so wonderful that it has swept through the countless plants and trees below, and it has not burned even a single bit.
Everyone was amazed, and Xu Yi had a touch of color on his face: "My Xuanyou Sect, naturally it is not the ordinary and unforbidden world, no matter what cat or dog can enter?" You see that this is a radius of thousands of miles, and the twelve peaks of the outer gate have set up a dark star blood flame array, if there is no sect entry and exit sigil, even if a mosquito flies in, it will be burned by the spark, and even the great monk of the Yuanying Realm will be caught in the sea of fire!"
The power of the Yuan Infant Realm will also be caught in the sea of fire!
Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked, deeply felt the strength of the sect, and involuntarily gave birth to pride. This is the Xuanyou Sect, the well-deserved leader of the Demon Dao in Guangping Mansion, who can worship in it, even if he is just an outer disciple, he can straighten his waist and hold his head high when he walks outside in the future! For a while, everyone was full of excitement and full of expectations for their future.
Xu Yi steered the bamboo boat and slowly landed on the platform below, and his task ended here: "Welcome to all junior brothers and sisters! The rules of the sect are naturally taught by your senior brothers, and in the future, you have to fight for your own creation-remember, don't fall into my mysterious prestige!"
"Senior brother (junior sister) will remember it in my heart, and I will never dare to forget it!" Hundreds of new disciples all clasped their fists in response and saluted in unison: "I'll wait to send senior brother!"
It wasn't until they saw Xu Yi's bamboo boat magic weapon disappear into the air and really looked at this outer gate Chaoyun Peak, that Han Yuan and the others felt that this was indeed the Demon Dao Giant of Guangping Mansion, Xuanyou Sect.
Squatting on the eaves are fierce beasts such as Han Qi Qi Poor, the cinnabar pillar is carved with poisonous weeds and demon flowers, and the small courtyard for the outer disciples to stay is not arranged in a square and round circle like the world, but is built layer upon layer along the mountain, looking like a sword blade from a distance, it is to produce more yin and evil qi from the perspective of feng shui. On both sides of the bluestone path, clumps of weeping blood peonies and begonias are in full bloom, and the bewitching flowers hide mysterious dangers. Here, even a flower or a leaf is a poison that kills people without seeing blood in the secular world.
The abundance of aura here is far beyond the outside world. The spiritual veins in the ground revealed a trace of spiritual energy, blending into the air, supplying nearly 10,000 disciples on the peak to cultivate. Here, one day of cultivation can catch up with ten days of penance in the outside world. Although the yin aura was strong, the methods of the Xuanyou Sect were so ingenious, and the great array of the sect that was running all the time transformed it into a cold but soft one. Even if a mortal without any cultivation lives here, he will only be nourished and healthy, and he will never die a miserable death like the Han family's medicine mountain.
On the side, a group of deacons from the outer gate who had already been notified were waiting on the side. Each of these outer deacons is in the foundation building period, and in the ordinary small family sect, they are also the people who hold the power of one party. However, in this Xuanyou Sect, they are just deacons who deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the outer gate, and they have cut off the hope of worshipping the inner gate, and their status is not as good as the potential and powerful outer disciples.
Each new disciple received his own robe, tokens, storage bags, and a thick copy of the "Xuanyou Gate Rules" from the deacon. The outer disciples can be issued with a one-square-sized storage bag, as well as two gray robes with low-grade magic weapons, and every month they are equipped with five spirit stones, five spirit pills, one qi and blood pill and one rejuvenation pill, which makes people have to sigh about the wealth of the Xuanyou Sect.
At the outer gate, the disciples have a courtyard of three people, and there are wells and animal pens in the courtyard. The room where everyone lives is independent, and there is a ban on the small wooden door, which is isolated from the world as soon as the door is closed. Without the identity token, even the full force of the Jindan period cannot be broken, and the safety of the disciples is absolutely guaranteed.
This time, a total of 3,784 new disciples were accepted, and the twelve peaks of the outer gate were assigned, and there were three hundred and five of them in this Chaoyun Peak, most of whom were from the assessment point of Han Yuan at that time. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Bai Wei, who ranked third in the actual combat assessment on the first day, was also assigned to Chaoyun Peak.
Coincidentally, Han Yuan, Bai Wei and Liu Danjiao happened to be in the No. 1 courtyard of Chaoyun Peak. Originally, the other owner of this courtyard should have been Peng Zilang, but Han Yuan hadn't seen him since the day of the outer library, and he must have been taken to the inner gate. Therefore, Liu Danjiao, who was fourth in the assessment, naturally moved into the hospital, and Han Yuan naturally hated each other.
However, in days like entry, even if Liu Danjiao is arrogant, she will never dare to make trouble. The three hundred and five new disciples changed into their outer gray robes and gathered in the martial arts arena of Chaoyun Peak, quietly listening to the speeches of the dozen or so teachers in front of them.
The so-called teaching, as the name suggests, is to teach learning and exhort life. Each of these teachings of the outer gate is a foundation building monk, and they are all knowledgeable and experienced veteran disciples of the inner gate. Although there is no apprenticeship, he can be regarded as half a teacher, even if he is an arrogant and wanton demon sect disciple, he must have more respect when he meets.
Those inner disciples who are older, have mediocre qualifications, and have never been promoted to Jindan, some of them invite themselves to leave the sect to start a family and establish a Xiuzhen family, some take care of the property and chores of the sect in Xuanyou City or other areas, and some are sent to the outer sect to become disciples to teach. Becoming a teacher is undoubtedly the best way, but after hundreds of people have been screened, only four or five can become teachers, so as not to mislead people's children. It can be seen that the sect can be regarded as attentive to the outer disciples.
"Physical and martial arts teaching, Lu Gao. A burly middle-aged man came out of the line, and the sound was like a bell, shaking everyone's ears to rumble.
"Spiritual teaching, Yan Wenbin. "This is a somewhat thin young man, with a gentle expression, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his body is as tall and sparse as a green bamboo, and he looks like a poor scholar in the mortal world.
"Teach the drug and poison class, Feng Quan. A middle-aged man with two mustaches walked out, raised his head and arched his hands, and turned back without looking at the disciples.
......
"Etiquette and history lessons, Han Qiu. The last one to come out was a slender and delicate woman, who smiled lightly at everyone. Although her skin is still as delicate as a girl, the stillness in those beautiful eyes reveals the precipitation of time.
Hearing the surname Han, Han Yuan instinctively became vigilant. However, no matter how he looked at it, the teacher named Han Qiu only faced everyone with a faint smile, and he didn't even give him a superfluous look. Han Yuan felt a little suspicious again. Maybe it's just a heavy surname? There are so many people in the world with the surname Han, how come all of them are from the Yushu Han family? He didn't think much about it anymore, and continued to listen to the next words of many teachings.
"The rules of the sect are in your storage bags. Within three days, please memorize it without missing a word. Three days later, in the history of etiquette class, if you can't memorize it, you will be expelled from the sect. Han Qiu smiled slightly, and the first sentence made everyone's faces look bitter and lament in their hearts.
The contents of the storage bag, everyone has naturally seen it a long time ago. Even if a cultivator is smart and good at memorizing, the monk in the Qi cultivation period has not reached the point of never forgetting it, so I am afraid that he will have to work hard in the past three days. Those children who were originally born in Xuanyou City or big families were all colorful, holding their heads high and not worried, obviously knowing this rule for a long time and having memorized it in advance.
Han Yuan only felt fortunate in his heart, fortunately, he had gone to the White Horse Academy in advance to learn literacy, otherwise he had worked so hard to worship the sect, but in the end he fell on a book of door rules, wouldn't it be ridiculous? It is not only to cope with the inspection after three days, but also to live in the sect in the future, so as not to inadvertently violate the door rules and be punished.
Next, the new disciples are divided into classes. The disciples are divided into different classes according to their cultivation level, and they will learn different contents in the future. After the class was divided, the teachers of each class sent down a piece of jade slip printed with "Xuanyou Qi Nourishing Technique" one by one, which contained about 100 words, which was exactly the practice method provided by Xuanyou Sect to the disciples during the Qi cultivation period. After a general explanation of the cultivation method, the disciples who had already embarked on the path of cultivation were disbanded, and the remaining disciples who had been selected from among the mortals were taken to the class to be taught and cultivated.
Back in his room, Han Yuan played with the jade slip in his hand, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Xuanyu Qi Cultivation Technique", obviously, this is the basic exercise that belongs to the Xuanyou Sect, and every disciple must practice. Those children of the family who practice their own family traditions, after worshipping the Xuanyou Sect, usually can't wait to transfer to the "Xuanyou Qi Cultivation Technique", and in the future, they will regard themselves as disciples of the Xuanyou Sect everywhere, completely severing the connection with the family, so as to show loyalty to the sect.
But how ridiculous is it to ask him to give up his "Poison Guarding Dao" and switch to "Xuanyu Qi Cultivation Technique"?
Although Han Yuan didn't know what grade his "Poison Resisting Dao" was, and what grade this "Xuanyu Qi Cultivation Technique" was, there was no doubt who was superior and who was inferior between the two. With the pearl and jade of the ancient top-level inheritance of "Poison Resistance" in front, "Xuanyu Qi Cultivation Technique" is like a speck of dust facing the stars and the moon, so mediocre that Han Yuan has no interest in even looking at it.
However, after three days, what they need to assess is not only the rules of the ritual history class, but also the exercise test of the spiritual law class. If you can't test the spiritual power born from the "Xuanyu Qi Cultivation Technique" in the spiritual law class, what will happen to the cold abyss can be guessed without thinking about it. The good ones were directly expelled from the sect, and the bad ones were killed as undercover interrogations.
So, what exactly should be done?
