Chapter 44: Gathering at the Hall of Elders
On this platform surrounded by eight large pillars, a simple gray bell was suspended three feet in the air at this moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the body of the bell, there was a turtle with a transparent spirit bead in its mouth, and the slightest white smoke breath continued to overflow from the eight pillars, and was pulled and gathered by an invisible suction, forming a thicker white air mass, pouring into the spirit bead in the turtle's open mouth, and suddenly, a majestic ability that made people feel awe-inspiring suddenly spread out from the spirit bead overflowing with spiritual light.
In an instant, the huge hall of elders was shrouded in a cloud of color, solemn and sacred, far away, there were many disciples who heard the bell, and saw the faint colored rainbow light halfway up the mountainside, when the strange color shrouded in the disciple's hall descended on the earth, the second sound exploded in the ears, but the bell that made people listen to it was extremely comfortable, rang again.
When the third bell rang, some disciples who were breathing and breathing qi to cultivate, disciples who were working, stood up one after another, put down the tools in their hands, and walked towards the Hall of Elders.
The fifth, sixth, seventh, after the bell fell, the empty disciple hall suddenly walked out of a young man with beautiful eyes and bright eyes. The young man's expression was calm, and he glanced at the rainbow that seemed to be scattered in mid-air, glittering, but his confident face was full of complexity.
After retracting his gaze, the young man raised his left hand and looked at the index finger wrapped in a strip of white cloth, and muttered: "The Soul Destroying Finger has already entered, and the thirty-one poison marks of the Condensation Sacrifice should be enough for the assessment..."
After a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the young man stood with his hands in his hands, followed by the many disciples who rushed to the elder's hall with anxious and nervous looks, and kicked towards the elders' hall where the bell rang again halfway up the south peak.
The ninth bell rang until after the half-pillar incense time.
The light curtain that sprinkled over the Hall of Elders, like a punctured blister, thudded, turned into a little spot of light, and dissipated when it was scattered around.
Outside the Hall of Elders, there were disciples with different expressions standing at this moment, these disciples, of different ages, big and young, with different appearances, different expressions, different identities, but they were all outer disciples, but the only thing that was the same was that everyone had excitement and hope on their faces, and the heart that beat faster as the bell fell.
Looking at this group of disciples, several hall masters and deacons on the jade steps of the Hall of Elders all set their eyes on the three old men who were over half a hundred years old and closed their eyes to recuperate.
It seemed that they knew that the disciples of Nanfeng were almost here, and the three respected elders opened their unwavering eyes, swept the many disciples standing straight outside the sweeping hall, and nodded, the seemingly cloudy eyes were like the light of the boundless black sea hidden in an endless sea, unfathomable, breathtaking, and all the disciples who were swept were immediately shocked, and their backs were like a mountain.
Chang'an, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but take a deep breath when the old man withdrew his gaze, and under the seemingly unabnormal face, it had already aroused a thousand layers of wild wolves.
This old man is the Great Elder of Nanfeng, Chang'an has only seen several times since he was a child, except for the annual trial of the inner disciples, there is no trace, a short shirt and gray robe, he looks like a mountain villager, but after the moment the Great Elder's gaze swept over, Chang'an knew that this old man who seemed to be about to reach the twilight of his life was actually fierce and terrifying, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.
The red-faced and thin old man on the left of this Great Elder is the Second Elder of Nanfeng, and the old man on the right, wearing a black robe, holding a green rattan cane, hunched back, full of white hair, but with an unusually kind appearance, is the Third Elder of Nanfeng.
And standing on the left and right sides of the three elders, there are Chang'an acquaintances, Dan Hall Master, Shu Pavilion Hall Master, Miscellaneous Servant Hall Master, Disciple Hall Master, Yanwu Hall Master, Dao Hall Master, Law Enforcement Hall Master, and so on, and behind these hall masters there are many disciples, who are the top fifty inner disciples on the disciple list.
Lin Jiaxin, who had humiliated Chang'an, was among them, and saw that she was wearing a fan Xiulian Luoshan skirt, standing slim and standing in the center of the disciples, and suddenly many outer disciples who came to participate in the assessment had peach blossoms in their eyes.
And beside her stood a young man with cold eyes, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, this young man was dressed in black brocade, with a resolute and serious face, with a constant frown, giving people a strange temperament, and a handsome face, but always low, as if he was extremely reluctant to stand here.
And this person is Lin Jiaxin's elder brother, and he is also the person who Chang'an used as his alchemy boy in Dantang, Lin Yucheng.
In addition, Chang'an also saw the top three on the disciple list, Magnolia, Du Pengyi, and Yi Kangbo, as her appearance is comparable to Lin Jiaxin, and her talent is even more outstanding, she can be described as the goddess in everyone's minds, and Lin Jiaxin is different from the combination of rigidity and softness, but the white magnolia with her eyebrows gives people a feeling of being pitiful and pitiful, a small jasper, a purple-blue dress, which highlights her proud figure, and even several inner disciples standing behind Bai Yulan, their eyes are also with admiration, and they are reluctant to leave.
However, Du Pengyi and Yi Kangbo are a little surprising, the former is different from what he imagined, gentle and elegant, fresh and handsome, and he has the ferocity of Chang'an in the disciple hall when he challenged him, on the contrary, Yi Kangbo on the side gives people a sense of a fierce beast among people, although the two are standing there, they are still secretly competing with each other, as the first and third on the disciple list, they are always thinking about how to suppress each other and how to surpass each other.
As for the others, after Chang'an swept away, he lost interest and withdrew his gaze.
After a short while, the three elders, who were on crutches, walked down the steps and came to the front of everyone, their hunched bodies, as if pressed by a stone, staggered and moved, causing the disciples standing in the first row to consciously lower their heads and show a look of serious listening.
"Presumably, you all know what today's day, as an elder of Nanfeng, I am very pleased to see that the number of disciples participating in the trial this year is twice as many as last year, which is enough to prove that your efforts have not been in vain..."
Saying this, the third elder raised his crutches, moved his steps, glanced at everyone, and continued: "For some reasons, it may be that from this year, the content of the assessment will be changed, I hope you can be prepared..."
As soon as the three elders said this, the surrounding disciples immediately became interested, and they all rubbed their hands, their eyes like fire waiting for the next word.
