Chapter 49 Inform the Hall
This highest mountain is called "Ethereal Peak", which is more than 1,000 zhang high and stretches for more than ten miles, and is the highest and majestic peak in the Cuizhu Mountains.
The Ethereal Peak is divided into east, west and south from bottom to top, and a total of three large flat open spaces have been opened, and the south-facing open space on the mountainside is the largest, with a radius of several miles.
Shen Cheng walked up the wide mountain road, thinking about whether there was any omission in the words he had just said to the old man surnamed Qi.
The low-ranking monks of the Ethereal Sect who met along the way all looked at Shen Cheng with a curious gaze, but he didn't pay attention to it, and just went straight up to the open space halfway up the mountainside.
Among the many houses and halls, Shen Cheng could easily find the three gilded characters on the plaque at the front entrance of a certain building - "Zhihuitang".
This Inform the Synagogue is a more complex organization, and all miscellaneous matters such as receiving people and things, issuing tasks, announcing and transmitting messages, etc., are all under the management of the Inform Synagogue, and the hall master is the old man surnamed Qi just now.
Shen Cheng stepped into the door of the hall without hesitation, and a young man of his age and clear eyebrows was sitting behind a desk, checking several books such as account books.
The young man looked up and saw Shen Cheng, who had entered the door, who was not wearing the clothes of a low-level disciple of the Ethereal Sect, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
Hearing the young man ask himself, Shen Cheng recounted the words that the old man surnamed Qi had ordered in the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain just now, and handed over the bamboo stick.
The young man glanced at the bamboo stick, and said with a smile on his face, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Shen of the New Confucian Sect!"
"I haven't officially entered the Ethereal Sect yet!" Shen Cheng said a little embarrassed.
The young man didn't think so, and said with a kind smile: "This is a matter of time or time, all the disciples who bring the Baishan token into the sect will be included in the sect." My name is Xu Yan, and I was recommended by my family six years ago to worship this sect. If the junior brother doesn't dislike it, just call me Senior Brother Xu. ”
The world of cultivating immortals is not based on age, but on the respect of those who are high. In the sect, the monks of the same rank should be the first to enter the sect. If it is a junior brother who is a late beginner and surpasses his senior brother in the great realm, then he will become the senior brother's uncle in the past, and this situation is not uncommon.
Shen Cheng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Little brother will rely on Senior Brother Xu for more guidance in the future." ”
Seeing that this young man surnamed Xu was elegant and modest in his words, and did not imagine the domineering arrogance of the disciples of the great sect, Shen Cheng had a good impression of him.
"Well, it's easy to say, junior brother doesn't have to be polite. It's just that every time the disciples recommended by each family have to wait for the recruitment meeting to enter the sect one after another, how did the junior brother come so early, didn't the elders of your family tell the junior brother?" Xu Yan happily agreed, and asked with some puzzlement.
"Oh, that's right! Although our Shen family is in Shao Kingdom, the family is not a sect force that is dependent on the Southern Immortal Cultivation Realm. The junior brother was not familiar with Shui Hongguo's path, and he was afraid that he would delay the trip by taking the wrong road, so he set off early and rushed over, but he didn't expect to come a little early!
Xu Yan didn't doubt anything anymore, and replied: "What the junior brother said is right, but the 'Recruitment Society' is the name of the major sects for the apprenticeship ceremony. And I plan to take advantage of this rare opportunity once every three years to worship the low-level casual cultivation of various sects, so I don't care if this is called the 'Immortal Seeking Festival', anyway, there is nothing wrong with saying it!"
"I see. Shen Cheng looked stunned, in fact, these things had nothing to do with him, what he was most concerned about now was his future in the Ethereal Sect in the future.
Xu Yan continued with interest: "Actually, those disciples of various families who are ready to worship the mountain should have also gone to the recruitment club now! If the junior disciples don't come to the sect to report so early, they should also go and have a look." You must know that there are also some geniuses among the scattered cultivators, and at that recruitment meeting six years ago, I went to Wanxiangguo's 'Tuoyue Sword Sect' to observe, and I still remember it vividly! Senior Brother Yu Zhiping, the first person in the melting period of this sect, also stood out and worshiped this sect at that recruitment meeting. He is the master and uncle, and he is most optimistic about the monk of the Qi Melting Period who can build a foundation. In just six years, we have reached several small realms in a row, and have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Melting Period, which is really admirable to us, the disciples who entered the sect at the same time! Now that the hall is busy with chores, I really can't get out of it, otherwise I will definitely go to observe it again!"
"Oh, when the senior brother said this, the younger brother was also a little moved, but listening to Uncle Qi's meaning, this recruitment meeting should be almost over, and the next time the younger brother will definitely go to see for a long time!" Shen Cheng echoed a few words while listening to the other party's story about the recruitment meeting.
"After chatting for a long time, I forgot all the business explained by the hall master, and let me see where it is more appropriate to arrange for the junior brother temporarily. With that, Xu Yan turned around and took down a booklet on the bookshelf and flipped through it.
At this moment, Shen Cheng heard footsteps not far behind him, and he wanted to release his divine sense to investigate, but he immediately dispelled this idea. These days, Shen Cheng has become accustomed to using his divine sense to explore the things around him, as if he has a few pairs of eyes in front of him and behind him all the time, making him feel that his safety is greatly guaranteed!
However, at this time in the Ethereal Sect, he could not use this divine sense at will, after all, the exercises he practiced were different from those of others. A sixth-level minor monk in the Qi Melting Stage already has the ability to release his divine sense, if this matter is known to some high-level people in the Ethereal Sect, I don't know if it will cause trouble for himself!
Now Shen Cheng is three points wary of anyone and everything!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally they walked straight through the door of the Synagogue. Xu Yan looked up and saw the person coming, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Uncle Wang, I don't know if Uncle Wang has something to order?"
Looking back in the direction of the footsteps, Shen Cheng couldn't help but be shocked when he recognized it slightly: "Why is he"!
Entering the door was a burly bearded man in a black shirt, this person Shen Cheng recognized at a glance, it was the bearded man he met in the Hundred Saints Pavilion of Yunzhu Academy when he followed his master down the mountain for the first time.
This monk surnamed Wang is still dressed in the same way as he was back then, and his appearance has basically not changed.
Afraid that the other party would recognize him, Shen Cheng hurriedly lowered his head.
"Well, what about your hall master?" the black-shirted bearded man approached and asked coldly.
Xu Yan smiled and joked: "At this moment, the hall master should still be hiding in the hut under the mountain!"
"This bad old man, didn't he deliberately hide because he lost a bet with me?" asked the bearded man coldly.
"This nephew doesn't know, Uncle Wang should go and ask the hall master himself!" Xu Yan replied with a smile, as if he was very familiar with this big man, and he didn't care about the seriousness of the big man.
"Well, I'll go find him. Eh, don't say that your hall master went out to hide Qingjing, don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders in the future, if it is known from above, your hall master can't afford to be guilty, you know?" The big man glanced at Shen Cheng with a straight face, and then pointed at Xu Yandao a few times mysteriously.
Xu Yan hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Senior nephew remembers." ”
Dahan nodded, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall. But when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Shen Cheng with slanted eyes.
