Chapter 21: The Monk

The apprenticeship conference began, and Xiao Qingfeng had a completely inexplicable feeling.

What about the rules? The rules are that seven disciples will be decided on the first six days, and the leader will be decided on the last day. But there are no limits, no casualties. It was definitely the most ruleless competition he'd ever seen, but at the same time, it was also the most testing competition he'd ever seen.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that the person standing on the high platform after seven days, whether it is super strong to sweep the enemy, or deep enough to calculate and win in one fell swoop, or even strong enough luck and deep opportunity. No matter what kind of person they are, they are all people who are truly worthy of attention, and they are all disciples that the Enlightenment School needs.

Xiao Qingfeng was still thinking about the rules, and others wouldn't think so. As soon as the words of the national teacher Xiong Guo fell, many young heroes who had been prepared jumped out directly, each with different postures, but they were all extremely chic, and at the same time, they were also fighting with each other for the first time.

Xiao Qingfeng, who originally thought that there were not many people participating, was really taken aback. Just now, I saw at least dozens of people competing for the seven high platforms. In the end, only fourteen people stayed on the high platform.

Although he has lived in Dachu for nearly 20 years, Xiao Qingfeng has been living in the remote Fenglin County. In recent years, he has been living in seclusion and cultivating, and he doesn't know what the apprenticeship festival means for the people of Da Chu. He who wanted to go to the Yuanyang Sect also didn't understand what it meant for those who sought the Tao.

He didn't understand, but as Jing Xu's disciple, Feng Kun understood.

"Every apprenticeship gathering is a grand event of Da Chu, but there are only a few people who can actually join the Wuzhen Sect, do you know why so many people still come, and even so many unrelated people come?" As an old brother, Feng Kun understood Xiao Qingfeng's confusion very well, in fact, he only heard Jing Xu talk about it after he apprenticed.

"Why?" Xiao Qingfeng asked very cooperatively.

Feng Kun smiled mysteriously, but he didn't take it too seriously, and explained directly: "Because no matter whether you can worship the Wuzhen Sect in the end or not, as long as you are qualified to participate and play, you can get the elixir and magic secrets of the Wuzhen Sect." Even if you can't worship the Wuzhen School, as long as you don't fall, you will basically be a party after decades. ”

Xiao Qingfeng's head was still a little confused, and he asked incomprehensibly: "There is no restriction on the competition, how should we deal with casualties?" What's more, it is also a reward for those who are qualified to participate, what are other people doing?"

"Snort!" Feng Kun suddenly laughed, "Xiao Feng, are you stupid to cultivate in the mountains and wilderness for several years, because there are no restrictions on the means, so you can see the real strength." What's more, with the national teacher here, no one dares to really make a dead move. As for the others? The reward they get doesn't mean that others can't take it. Although no one dared to rob it openly in front of the elders and national teachers of the Wuzhen Sect, once they left the city, it might not be. ”

Xiao Qingfeng was silent, he himself was extremely smart, but he just didn't have the heart to think about these things. When you think about it, this is exactly what happened. And as I thought about it deeply, I felt even more chilling.

Ancient language: Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry violates the ban with martial arts!

Most of the officials in the Great Chu court were born in Confucianism, and Confucianism was definitely not suitable for Great Chu. However, the prohibition of chivalry and martial arts is very much in line with the situation of Da Chu. Even Xiao Qingfeng, who doesn't know much about the situation in Dachu, knows that the power of the rivers and lakes of Dachu is huge, and some masters of the rivers and lakes don't take the imperial court and government in their eyes at all.

The rivers and lakes and the imperial court never coexist peacefully. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. If the strength of the two sides is similar one day, it will not be far from chaos. In fact, throughout the more than 2,000 years of history of the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, there were not a few rebellions caused by the huge power of the rivers and lakes.

From this point of view, the elixir and magic secrets handed down by the Wuzhen Sect are obviously not pure. As a former healer, he naturally knew that it was a medicine that was poisonous. What's more, there has always been a rule in his master's lineage, not to take pills to improve his cultivation, this is the ancestral teaching. Xiao Qingfeng also saw it in the 'Unbelief Record', which clearly recorded that no disciple of the Yuanyang Sect could take pills to improve his cultivation.

With his shallow knowledge, he naturally didn't know the harm of pills, but he knew that there would definitely be troubles after using pills to improve cultivation, otherwise why would the huge sect of the Yuanyang Sect stipulate such a prescription?

In addition, the magic cheats are even more eye-catching. In order to compete for a miracle, I don't know how many people will die, and it is precisely the most of them who are still in the rivers and lakes. From this point of view, this once-in-a-decade event is probably not only a meeting of the Wuzhen faction to accept disciples, but also a means for the imperial court to weaken the power of the rivers and lakes, a kind of yang conspiracy, a dignified and upright yang conspiracy!

Xiao Qingfeng knew that what he could think of, others would definitely be able to think of it. Frankly speaking, if he is a person in the rivers and lakes, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of panacea and magic secrets.

"Good!"

"Awesome!"

"This is the 'amazing knife' that has become famous in recent years! Sure enough, he is worthy of being a disciple of the Sword King!"

Xiao Qingfeng had just figured things out, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was glad that he would not stay in Da Chu for a long time, when a burst of cheers sounded in his ears.

When I looked up, I saw that one of the seven high platforms had already decided the winner. And the winner is a young man in his twenties. This person is slender, handsome, holding a three-foot knife, and his body is full of cold arrogance.

Xiao Qingfeng didn't know this time, and asked Feng Kun beside him, "Who is he?"

"'Amazing Knife' Hu Yidao, one of the young masters who have become famous in recent years. Twenty-five years old this year, congenital early stage cultivation, this person is the apprentice of the Sword King, one of the six innate peak masters of Great Chu. The name of the knife in his hand is called the long hatred knife, and he has learned the sword king's overlord knife technique, and the knife technique in one hand is extremely sharp, and what he is best at is the amazing knife in the overlord knife trick. So the people in the rivers and lakes are called amazing. Feng Kun told Hu Yidao's details one by one, and he completely felt like a hundred Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes.

"How do you know so much?" Xiao Qingfeng looked at his brother who had grown up together suspiciously, completely surprised.

"What do you think the Divine Capture Division does?" Feng Kun glanced at Xiao Qingfeng, "The main responsibility of the Divine Capture Division is not to kill demons and demons, let alone catch spirits, twenty years ago, the main responsibility of the Divine Capture Division was to arrest the people in the rivers and lakes who committed crimes. It was only eighteen years ago that Great Chu began to have spirits everywhere, so he let the gods capture the spirits and relax the control of the rivers and lakes. Now that the danger of the spirit is solved, he will naturally return to his job. ”

Ignoring Feng Kun's somewhat pretentious remarks, Xiao Qingfeng put his mind on the high platform. He promised 'Xiong Yan' to participate in the event, so naturally he would not break his promise, observe his opponent more at this time, and have a better chance of winning when he plays. I didn't know the purpose of 'Xiong Yan' calling him to participate in the conference, but now it seems that he probably wants to help him get the elixir and magic cheats.

Xiao Qingfeng knew that he lacked experience in fighting, and watching the battle of everyone on the stage, he naturally substituted himself into it, thinking about how to deal with it if he encountered this trick. After several times, he really gained a lot.

Time flies, and the white horse flies. The day passed quickly. This is the end of the first day of the conference.

After a day of observation, Xiao Qingfeng didn't get much useful information. Sure enough, those who can cultivate to the innate realm at the age of thirty are not ordinary people. I know that the first few days were a trial, and I'm afraid I won't really know the details until the sixth day.

In the next few days, Xiao Qingfeng still had no intention of making a move, and kept observing from the audience. After a few days, he really let him see a little way. Among the many people, there are a total of four people who can make him jealous, and two of them are in the middle of the innate cultivation.

These four people are 'Amazing Sword' Hu Yidao, who is cultivated in the early stage of congenital and has sharp knife skills; Lin Xu, who is in the middle stage of his congenital cultivation and is as fast as a shadow; Dong Cheng, who is a 'magic spear', is cultivated in the early stage of his congenital and has exquisite marksmanship; and Yang Qu, who is in the middle of his congenital cultivation, has reached the peak of his light skills.

In addition to these four people, there is another person that Xiao Qingfeng can't see through. It was the monk who did not kneel with him that time. In my feelings, the monk is the real opponent, and I am afraid that he is not even an opponent. However, the monk is a member of Buddhism, and he will definitely not participate in this grand gathering of disciples, and he should not be right.

The sixth day finally came in anticipation.

"Seven disciples are decided today, and the old Tao is not nonsense, and those who stand on the seven high platforms at the moment of today's unitary moment will be able to enter the gate wall of my Enlightenment Sect. Today's rules are the same as in the past, and now the old Tao announces, the conference, begin!" the national teacher Xiong Guo stood on the high platform in the middle and said loudly.

His words fell, but no one immediately came on. Today is different from the past, in the past, it was basically a temptation, and today is the time to really show strength, and no one dares to hold it up.

"Amitabha!" Just when many young heroes looked at each other, a Buddha horn sounded throughout the audience, but I don't know when, a figure and a monk appeared on the central platform.

This monk is a sturdy monk in his thirties, dressed in a robe, holding a bowl in one hand and a Zen staff in the other. This monk was none other than the master whom Xiao Qingfeng had met in the tavern a few months ago.

Seeing the moment the monk appeared, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly felt that today's events were only unusual. Before he could think about it, there was another change on the high platform.

A figure suddenly appeared beside him, and the national teacher Xiong was shocked. As an elder of the Wuzhen Sect, he is naturally a master of foundation realm cultivation, but with his cultivation, he didn't even notice it, so it can be seen that the monk in front of him is by no means comparable to him.

"Xiong Guo has seen the master, I don't know why the master came this time?"

Xiong Guo shook off the dust in his hand, gave a salute, and asked. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is not too fierce in Dachu, because Dachu only has one cultivation sect, the Wuzhen School, and the Buddhist temple inside Dachu is only a secular Buddhist temple, and there is no cultivation sect behind him, so even if the monk in front of him cultivates more advanced than himself, Xiong Guo is only commensurate with a master.

"Junior, step back first, this is a gambling fight between the old monk and the bull's nose, and you can't get involved in your cultivation. The monk was unceremonious, and with a wave of his right hand holding a Zen staff, Xiong Zheng's body flew out of the stage uncontrollably.

"The old monk knows how to bully juniors, and he is not ashamed!" Another voice resounded throughout the audience, but when he saw the bear that flew out upside down, he stopped in the air, and then slowly fell, which did not make the national teacher make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

The person who came was a Taoist chief, in his forties, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, with a long sword on his back, and a floating dust in his hand. It was the Taoist leader they had seen fighting with the monk a few months ago.

"Niubi, the old monk arrived before you. Seeing the Taoist, the monk smiled.
