Chapter 2 Opening the Mountain and Accepting Disciples
The Liao State is divided into two regions, Southern Liao and Northern Liao, separated by a Liao River in the middle, and the name Liao means vast territory. www.biquge.info Since ancient times, there have been constant wars between Southern Liao and Northern Liao, and countless immortal cultivators have paid with their lives for this, ending the road of cultivating immortals. The originally clear Liaojiang River was even more dyed red by the blood of immortal cultivators.
At this time, in a restaurant on the border of Northern Liao, next to the desert, a man named Hanako was gobbling it up.
"Slow down, don't break your belly. ”
"Don't be long-winded! I've been hungry these days! If it weren't for those cacti and scorpions in the sand, I guess I'd already be burping!"
In the small restaurant, it was Liu Xiaohu who was eating meat and drinking wine in tattered clothes, and shaking his head from time to time.
"The world is big, and there are countless delicacies, but ah, tsk!" Shadow Lao Chui is communicating with Liu Xiaohu through his mind, even if you stand next to you, you can't hear their conversation. So in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Xiaohu is shaking his head from time to time, thinking that he is a mentally problematic called Huazi.
"But what?" Liu Xiaohu was still pouring wine while communicating with the shadow elder.
"During the spiritual training period, you will live for more than 100 years at most, and you are no different from ordinary people. When I think of the food in the world, the taste, oh! It's delicious! The bear child can't eat much!"
"I'll tell you, don't you just want me to return to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
"As a foodie, if you can't eat all the world's food, what's the fun of living!"
"Hehe, don't provoke me, how can I say that I am also an immortal cultivator who has been in the Nine Heavens Void Realm for more than forty thousand years, and returning to the Heavenly Immortal Realm is a matter of minutes for me. ”
"It's a matter of minutes, don't forget, bear child, now you are an immortal cultivator in the spiritual cultivation period. Your current Yang Lifespan is only thirty years, unless you can advance to the Foundation Building Period. ”
"I have a lot of treasures on my body! Most immortal cultivators rush to cultivate elixirs, I once swallowed them one by one like eating jelly beans......
"If you have the guts, I'll take another one! I think with your current realm, can you withstand the energy of those elixirs? Immediately explode your mortal body!"
“......”
"Why don't you dare to eat it? You still have a lot of treasures on your body! Let me tell you, that Qiankun whip is a powerful magic weapon, but because you are a mortal and your cultivation is too low to exert your power, you will be beaten back to the human world. ”
"Nonsense, my cultivation has reached the realm of immortals, if you can't speak, get away from me immediately!"
"You haven't crossed into the Celestial Realm by accident! Don't forget that you were only in the foundation building period before. ”
"I was in the Ning Dan period before! I was actually looked down upon by your shadow, and I was also drunk! Okay, I'll let you take a good look at how this handsome guy will call the wind and rain in the future, and make an earth-shattering legend!"
In fact, Liu Xiaohu is talking big, what he wants in his heart is to repair to the foundation building period as soon as possible, and then be able to live a little longer, so that he can eat more delicious food!
......
The Yuqing Sect, the largest sect of cultivating immortals in Northern Liao, would open the mountain gate on the seventh day of the first lunar month every year to select disciples to replenish the disciples lost in the war against the Xiuxian sect of Southern Liao. And the villagers of hundreds of miles nearby will send their children over ten years old, once selected, not only can they get ten taels of silver, but they will also have the support of the Yuqing faction, and no one dares to provoke. If the ancestral tomb smokes, maybe one day your own children will really become immortals.
Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and early in the morning, thousands of people have gathered in the open space below the mountain. The vast majority of them were parents who led their children to wait for the selection of the Yuqing faction, and only a dozen or so people came to interview with some casual cultivators or other sects.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of galloping horses spread in all directions in an instant, and after a burst of white clouds surging, the huge mountain gate of the Yuqing Sect appeared out of thin air.
I saw that the mountain gate was composed of five twenty-meter-high, snow-white white jade pillars. There is a turquoise jade plaque on the stone pillar, inlaid with three gilded characters of the Yuqing School, the font is vigorous and powerful, and the golden light is shining.
Immediately followed by more than 20 people flying out of the mountain gate, all of them were stepping on flying swords, and they were heroic. Dozens of men among them were all dressed in light blue brocade robes, and all of them had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their eyes were sharp. And dozens of other women were all dressed in white, all fresh and refined, like fairies descending to earth.
The crowd waiting outside the mountain gate erupted in admiration, and I don't know how many children are looking forward to the day when they will be admired by thousands of people like this!
More than twenty disciples of the Yuqing Sect got off the flying swords and stood in a neat row, and out of them came a tall man with a cold face and clasped his fists at everyone and said, "My name is Yan Ming, and I am the senior disciple of the Discipline Pavilion of the Yuqing Sect. All related matters are in charge of the opening of the mountain. Next, according to the previous practice, the spiritual source will be tested first. As he spoke, the other disciples brought out an extra-large porcelain basin, which was filled with water.
All those who planned to enter the Imperial Sect lined up and walked to the porcelain basin one by one. Another disciple of the Yuqing faction took out a silver needle, stabbed it on the finger of the comer, and dripped the squeezed blood into the porcelain basin for examination.
"First of all, after dripping the blood into the porcelain basin, those who are transformed into colorless, that is, mortals without spiritual sources, can go home and farm with peace of mind. Those who turn into any of the five colors of yellow, blue, blue, red, and brown are one of the five spiritual sources of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and stand in the five areas that have been prepared in advance on my right hand and wait to enter the mountain. If two colors or more appear, then stand in the open space in front of me. The above is for people who have never cultivated immortals.
Secondly, the cultivators who were scattered and those who planned to switch from other sects to the Yuqing Sect, after testing the spiritual source, stood in this special area next to my left.
Finally, the person who was found by this sect was in the source of the alien spirit, and after re-examination, he stood behind me. After Yan Ming finished speaking, he pointed with his hand.
......
"Bear child, it's your turn!"
It turned out that Liu Xiaohu had also traveled thousands of miles to participate in the opening of the Yuqing faction to accept apprentices. At this time, Liu Xiaohu was thin and dark-skinned. Due to the long journey, wind and sun, the face is also crawling with wrinkles. It's just that the clothes are better now than they were when they first came out of the desert, at least they are no longer in rags.
Standing next to the porcelain basin and holding a silver needle, the person in charge of stabbing Liu Xiaohu with blood was a young female disciple of twenty-five or sixteen years old in the early stage of foundation building. Liu Xiaohu walked up and said to the other party: "Sister Beauty, can you do it lightly? I'm afraid of pain!"
The woman smiled and nodded, and gently pricked the tip of Liu Xiaohu's finger, and a drop of blood gushed out and fell into the porcelain basin. After the blood and water fused, it instantly showed a brown color, and the earth spirit source.
"Sister Xie Meinu, what's your name?"
"Hurry up and stand and ask something!" Yan Ming scolded.
"Yu Wanqing!" Liu Xiaohu heard the answer when he turned around and walked over.
Soon, more than 700 people who wanted to enter the Imperial Sect had all completed the spiritual source. Among them, more than 400 people had no spiritual source and did not have the conditions for cultivating immortals, so they could only leave with their parents. The people who stayed behind stood in their respective positions according to the spiritual source they possessed.
"Whoever joins this sect is not allowed to go down the mountain without an accident for twelve years. Parents can go over there to collect the silver taels and go down the mountain with confidence, if there is any major event in the family, our Yuqing faction will naturally inform your children. ”
"Thank you, immortals, thank you, immortals!" More than 200 parents left their children behind and went down the mountain to receive silver taels. It's not that these parents are ruthless, these families are more difficult families, they can't eat enough, and if they want their children to live, sending them to Yuqing is the best choice. There were still ten taels of silver to be gained, which these families could not earn for years. Once the child has a future in the future, it will be a matter of glory to the ancestors. Even if something misfortune happens, you can get a pension of fifty taels of silver from the Yuqing Sect, which is an amount that these ordinary mortals with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky can't earn in a lifetime. What's more, in the eyes of mortals, entering the Yuqing Sect is equivalent to becoming an immortal, which parent doesn't want their children to have a good future.
When all the parents left, Yan Ming said, "Let's review the three people with alien spirit sources. In addition to the five spirit sources of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, some of the more advanced spirit sources include ice spirit sources, wind spirit sources, thunder spirit sources and stone spirit sources. People with alien spirit sources are much faster than other immortal cultivators when cultivating immortals. However, the cultivators of the Alien Spirit Source are very rare, and there are more than 700 people who have come this year, and there is not a single owner of the Alien Spirit Source. These three were also discovered by accident when Uncle Benmen was out and about. ”
Next, two men and one woman inspected the spirit source respectively, one woman had the wind spirit source, one man had the ice spirit source, and one man had the stone spirit source.
"Okay, let's move on to the last item, let these Daoists on my left who have already had experience in cultivating immortals before have a discussion with each other, and let you immortal cultivators understand what an immortal cultivator is. The competition is divided according to the realm, building the foundation to building the foundation, practicing the spirit to practicing the spirit, fighting each other in a group of two, and drawing bamboo sticks to determine the opponent. ”
At this time, two clouds of colored mist, one yellow and one red, flew out from the mountain gate of the Yuqing faction, and flew all the way to the sky above everyone. After the colorful mist dissipated, two people in gray robes fell, and they were really as ethereal as a cloud, as vigorous as a dragon. Look closely at the two of them, their eyebrows are like ink paintings, their temples are like crows, and they have a fairy demeanor in their gestures.
When the disciples of the Yuqing Sect saw it, they immediately stepped forward to salute, "The disciples have seen the Stone Pavilion Master and the Xiao Pavilion Master!"
"Excuse me!"
The two of them were Shi Longfei, the immortal cultivator of the Condensing Pill period of the Imperial Qing Sect, the pavilion master of the Tianjia Pavilion, and Xiao Shen, the pavilion master of the Discipline Pavilion.
Among them, Xiao Shen, who was slightly taller, said: "Yan Ming, how is the progress?"
"Back to Shizun, it just happened to be at the stage of the competition, with Shizun and Uncle Shi in charge, we will start now. ”
"Okay, let them draw lots!"
"Huh!" Shi Longfei, the master of the Tianjia Pavilion, looked at the twenty-two people who participated in the discussion, and let out a sigh. Then he pointed at Liu Xiaohu with his hand and said, "You don't have to participate in the competition, go down the mountain!"
