Chapter 12 The Outer Gate and the Refining Hall

Early in the morning, at the foot of the Qingwen Mountain, the old man clasped his fists with both hands and said politely to the red-faced man: "This time I left, Feng Daoyou sent him off, which really flattered Wu." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Wu Daoyou is too polite. Feng Chenglin didn't dare to say anything.

Feng Chenglin Feng Chenglin is one of the foreign affairs elders of the Qingling Sect, he has a red face, and it was he who greeted the two old men that day.

After a pause, Feng Chenglin frowned slightly, and opened his mouth to persuade: "However, Wu Daoyou really doesn't think about it anymore? If Daoyou stays in the sect, no matter how bad it is, he can be like Zhao Mou, and he should be a foreign affairs elder." Why do you have to go to that chaotic treasure realm to find yourself uncomfortable?"

The old man waved his hand again and again: "Feng Daoyou doesn't need to persuade anymore. Wu is used to being lazy, and he can't stand the constraints of the big sects. ”

In addition, Wu is also old, if there is no accident, Wu will only have more than ten years of life left. In this way, it is better to go to the Chaos Treasure Domain to break through and see if you can find an opportunity to break through. ”

The old man sighed as he spoke, glanced at Wu Liang beside Feng Chenglin, and said, "However, my grandson is still young, and his strength is a mess. Now that he is in Qingling Sect, he will have to trouble Feng Daoyou in the future. ”

As he spoke, the old man took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Feng Chenglin's arms.

Feng Chenglin originally insisted on not accepting the storage bag, but at the insistence of the old man, he finally couldn't shirk it, and he had no choice but to take the storage bag into his arms.

"Brother Wu rest assured, Wu Liang will be Zhao's nephew in the future. Opening the storage bag, when he saw the dozen or so spirit stones the size of an adult's fist in the storage bag, Feng Chenglin patted his chest and reassured him again and again.

With Brother Feng's words, Wu was relieved. The old man was smiling.

Next, the old man told Wu Liang a few more words, asking the latter to listen to the words of the red-faced man in Qingling Sect before he drifted away.

When the old man's figure disappeared completely, Feng Chenglin's face returned to calm, and he turned to Wu Liang and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Wu Liang responded obediently, but he was a little alienated from Feng Chenglin in his heart.

What Feng Chenglin didn't know was that before the old man left, he reminded Wu Liang by means of sound transmission: "You don't have to get too close to this surnamed Feng in the future, if you really encounter big trouble, this surnamed Feng should not be able to count on it." ”

A quarter of an hour later, in front of a three-story attic building somewhere in the Qingling Sect, Feng Chenglin stepped on a flying sword and carried Wu Liang down from the sky.

In front of the attic, when the two Tsing Yi disciples saw Feng Chenglin, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

Feng Chenglin only lowered his nose, and walked directly in front of the two, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to the two of them.

The two disciples were of humble status, and their hearts were just full of awe, and they did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with Feng Chenglin.

Wu Liang followed behind Feng Chenglin in a flutter, with an endless look of aftertaste on his face. But he was still immersed in the feeling of flying with Edgeworth.

Although he has lived with the old man for more than ten years, the old man rarely uses monks' methods.

Now that he is being carried by Feng Chenglin, he flew all the way here from Qingwen Mountain, although it took only a quarter of an hour to gather, but it had already made him addicted. The desire to become a monk grew stronger in his heart.

As for things like the failure of condensing spiritual power and the failure of spiritual enlightenment, it only affected his state of mind for a moment. How could he take that kind of little thing to heart!

Without warning, Wu Liang stumbled under his feet, waking him up from a big dream—but he kicked him on the steps outside the attic.

Wu Liang's matter here, Feng Chenglin obviously noticed it. The latter turned his head and said with a slightly cold face: "This is the Foreign Affairs Pavilion." Although this Foreign Affairs Pavilion is not an important place for the sect, it is also an indispensable place for the entire sect. Here, you'd better be a little more restrained. ”

The strong warning in the second half of the sentence made Wu conscience feel a pang in his heart. Only then did he remember that the old man was no longer by his side, and in the future, he could no longer act unscrupulously.

......

Early in the morning, in the simple wooden house, Wu Liang sat on the bed and stretched a big waist, got up, washed, and started his busy day.

At this time, half a month had passed since Wu Liang became an outer disciple. Now, he also has a clear understanding of his identity.

The outer disciple sounds good, but in fact, he is just a servant-like existence in the Qingling Sect.

Although the Qingling Sect is a sect based on monks, there are still many miscellaneous matters within its sect.

As cultivators who are the first in cultivation, those inner disciples are naturally reluctant to take care of these trivial matters. But these things can't be done by no one, so there are outer disciples in the Qingling Sect.

The composition of the outer disciples is extremely complex, but in general it can be divided into four categories.

The first type of person is the Qingling Sect's optimistic immortal cultivators, who will hang up a name under the Qingling Sect in advance, and only wait for the success of the Lingling at the age of thirteen, and they will soar to the sky and become an inner disciple. This kind of person has the smallest number of outer disciples, and their treatment is comparable to that of inner disciples, and it is enough to train hard every day.

The second type of people are related to the monks above the foundation building period in the Qingling Sect, most of them are unable to cultivate, and they have passed the age of enlightenment, so they just have a place to live in the sect. There are not many such people, and their status among the outer disciples is second only to the first type of people, and they do the most easy daily chores.

The third group of people is more miserable. They are people who failed to open the spirit, but were lucky enough to survive the opening ceremony, and they have no background. They didn't want to leave the Qingling Sect for various reasons, so they accepted the identity of outer disciples. This kind of person has no hope for the future and no background, so the daily sundries are heavier.

As for the fourth type of people, they are at the bottom of the Qingling Sect. They are either the descendants of the elder generation of outer disciples, or they are strong young people who got them out of nowhere. Of course, there are also many people who are lucky and delusional that one day they can meet a great opportunity in the Qingling Sect.

The fourth group of people accounted for seventy percent of the outer disciples, the largest in number, and the most miserable - because they were shallow or no heels, and the weakest in strength, they were not only suppressed by the other three types of people, but also made the most heavy miscellaneous work.

After having a clear understanding of these four types of people, Wu Liang made a very objective positioning for himself - now that he is a descendant of the Wu family on Setling Island, coupled with Feng Chenglin's vague relationship, he can be regarded as a second type of person!

I have to say that Wu Liang's positioning of himself is quite accurate, strictly speaking, his status is higher than that of the second type of people.

The Wu family on Setling Island was originally a big family of monks in the Yudan period, and the Wu family had made great contributions to the Qingling Sect, so the Wu family originally had a very high status in the Qingling Sect.

If the old man stayed in the Qingling Sect as the head of the Wu family, even if Wu Liang was not a monk, the high-level of the Qingling Sect would give Wu Liang the status of an inner disciple because of his face.

But the old man is not in the Qingling Sect! Therefore, Wu Liang's identity fell off all of a sudden. Without the support of the monks in the foundation building period, if Wu Liang is given another inner door identity, no one will be convinced.

No matter how brilliant the Wu family was in the past, after losing their strength now, the high-level leaders of the Qingling Sect were at most secretly concerned about their descendants.

However, Wu Liang did not have the slightest complaint about this, after all, he Wu Liang, the "Wu", was not the "Wu" of the Wu family on the Soul Island!

After washing, Wu Liang had already changed into a set of black clothes, which were the clothes of the outer disciples. He straightened his collar, opened the door, and strode out.

"Senior Brother Wu. Wu Liangfang walked not far away, and before he could think about what to eat for breakfast, a strange man popped out of the side. The man bowed to Wu Liang and blocked the latter's way.

The strange man was dressed in the black clothes of the outer disciples, and his body was thin and malnourished, and he looked like the fourth group of the outer disciples.

Wu Liang looked at the man carefully, and after making sure that he didn't know such a number one person, he muttered in his heart, I don't know why this person stopped him.

Before Wu Liang could ask, the strange man explained his reason: "Senior Brother Wu, today is the day of immortal ascension, and the hall master of the refining hall asked me to take Senior Brother Wu to the refining hall to participate in the immortal ascension ceremony." ”

As soon as the strange man spoke, Wu Liang was startled.

"Refining Hall? Immortal Ascension Ceremony?What is that?" Wu Liang was puzzled, and suddenly, his heart moved, and an idea came out that made his mouth dry: "Wait, the Enlightenment Ceremony, the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, the Enlightenment ...... Isn't this immortal ascension ritual also helping mortals condense their spiritual power?"

As soon as Wu Liang's idea popped up, he drilled into his heart one by one, and his heart thumped: "If it's really as I thought, then you must not miss this matter!"

Wu Liang made up his mind and decided to go with the strange man. But at the same time, he couldn't understand why his old man had never mentioned any immortal ascension ceremony to him.

However, this puzzle only flashed in his mind, and then it was quickly rushed out of his mind by someone's rich imagination.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that the old man is here. Over the past thirteen years, the old man has firmly believed that his grandson is talented, and firmly believes that in terms of qualifications, no one in the entire Mongolian region can compare with his grandson.

Even though Wu Liang's nearly ten years, nearly 3,000 days and nights, and nearly 3,000 attempts at condensing spirits all ended in failure, the old man was still full of confidence in Wu Liang!

Therefore, Wu Liang would fail to open the spirit, and the old man never thought about it. Naturally, the old man never mentioned to his grandson the choices that losers can make.

What the old man did every day was to constantly urge Wu Liang to try to condense his spirit, constantly order Wu Liang to refine his body, and constantly let Wu Liang earn money for himself...... cough cough, occasionally teach Wu Liang some miscellaneous knowledge.

Later, when Wu Liang failed to open the spirit, the old man still firmly believed that Wu Liang could successfully condense the spirit and become a monk.

Therefore, until the old man left, except for the orthodox cultivation method of opening the spirit, Wu Liang knew almost nothing about the left path method of the cultivation realm.

The old man left in a dashing manner, and Wu Liangke was sad.

The old man thought that with Wu Liang's head and melon seeds, plus the strange magic he learned from himself, and the wealth he left him, it was enough for him to deal with the people of the Qingling Sect.

But what the old man didn't expect was that Wu Liang still had enemies in Qingling Sect - the grandson of the elder of the Chen family was also in Qingling Sect. But at this time, Chen Chengqing's small role is nothing. After all, Wu Liang had already succeeded in pulling the hatred of the white-haired boy again.

The white-haired boy is the grandson of the six elders of the Qingling Sect, and is deeply loved by the six elders. In addition, this person has now successfully opened the spirit and become a monk! With these two layers of identity, who is the inner disciple of the Qingling Sect who does not avoid him?

Compared with the white-haired young man, Chen Chengqing, an outer disciple who didn't know how much he had been estranged from the relationship with the six elders, was naturally insignificant.

......

The pale golden sun is warm but not hot, and it is most comfortable to sprinkle on the cheeks.

On the way to the refining hall, Wu Liang enjoyed this ray of sunshine comfortably, feeling extremely happy, and without the slightest burden on his body and mind - this is the saddest thing. Until this point, he had no idea that his good days were coming to an end.

Liantang, as the name suggests, is a place to temper the flesh.

Among the sects, the refining hall is extremely special. The status of Liantang disciples is extremely low, often only higher than that of outer disciples. But it is this group of people who have no identity, for a long time in the past, but it symbolizes the strength of the sect, and it is related to the rise and fall of the sect.

Naturally, this place in the refining hall is not something that anyone can enter and exit at will—well, at least, outer disciples can't enter the refining hall except for the day of ascension.

For the disciples of Liantang, Liantang is a place that they love and hate.

Not only is the refining hall always stocked with food and drink, but it also points out another path for those who are unable to cultivate, and even some people who have just become disciples of the refining hall regard the refining hall as a paradise!

But without waiting for those newcomers to stay in the purgatory for half a year or even a month, "heaven" will once again become a purgatory, or even purgatory! They are in fear every day, as if they are facing a great enemy. As for the reason for this, the outer disciples who did not have the slightest background have never been able to figure it out.

The unknown world is always wonderful. In the eyes of the third and fourth types of outer disciples, although the disciples of the Liantang were like facing a great enemy all day long, the Liantang was still a good place. Most of them had the delusional idea that they would one day become disciples of the Refining Hall.

And if you want to become a disciple of the Refining Hall, there is only one path for the outer disciples, and that is the Immortal Ascension Ceremony!

Only after passing the immortal ascension ceremony will the outer disciples be absorbed into the refining hall.

Can anyone participate in the ascension ceremony? The answer is no.

Only outer disciples who survive the Enlightenment Ceremony every year and are physically strong enough can participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. Even so, not every loser can successfully ascend to immortal and become a disciple of the refining hall.

Fortunately, even if the immortal ascension fails, there will not be any danger to life. Therefore, almost all living people who fail to enlighten will participate in the immortal ascension ceremony and try their luck again.

After losing the possibility of becoming inner disciples, the arrogant losers were naturally more willing to become Liantang disciples than the outer disciples.

......

Wu Liang thought about it in his heart, and at the same time walked behind the strange man for about half an hour. Finally, as the weather got hotter, the strange man in front of him stopped.

"Senior Brother Wu, that's the refining hall. The strange man pointed to a green peak in front of him with an expressionless face, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

Wu Liang nodded, not paying much attention to the strange man, just looking excitedly at the green peak.

The entire green peak is nearly 1,000 zhang high, and the upper part goes straight into the clouds, and the scenery above it is tightly covered by clouds and mist.

Look at the lower part of the green peak, but see the green forest shady, surrounded by secluded paths. The breeze blows, the tip moves slightly, and the eaves of the pavilion tip loom in the meantime, and it seems to be a holy place with excellent scenery, which leads people to reverie infinitely.

No wonder the refining hall is the paradise in the hearts of the outer disciples, not to mention this green peak, this environment alone is not known how many times more robbed than the outer disciples living in those mountain passes.

Wu Liangzheng looked at the Qingfeng of the Refining Hall with great interest, and the voice of the strange man sounded in his ears again: "Senior Brother Wu, I can't step into the Refining Peak, so I can only send Senior Brother here."

On this refining peak, the senior brother only needs to climb all the way up to reach the refining hall. Also, the immortal ascension ceremony started at noon, and although it was still early, it was better for the senior brother to rush to the refining hall early, so as not to miss the matter. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. Wu Liang raised his eyebrows, hugged his fist at the strange man, and strode towards the refining peak.

With the immortal ascension ceremony in mind, Wu Liang made all the journeys, thinking about rushing to the refining hall as soon as possible. What he didn't know was that there were already two old friends waiting for him there in the refining hall at this time.
