Chapter 2 Village Hall
Zhao Yan ran quickly to Li Ping's house, opened the courtyard door and saw Li Ping holding a wooden sword, posing under the big locust tree, but it did not give people a sense of righteousness, but a nondescript feeling. Zhao Yan coughed dryly at Li Ping. Li Ping noticed that Zhao Yan was at the gate of the Chinese Character Courtyard again. Li Ping opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, Zhao Yan, why are you here?"
Zhao Yan replied: "It was Dawa who asked me to call you, let's go to the village hall quickly, it seems that something big has happened." ”
Li Ping was puzzled: "What big deal can there be, is it important to have me practice martial arts? Really, wait for me to change my clothes" Before Li Ping finished speaking, Zhao Yan dragged Li Ping's hand and ran towards the village hall. This made the wooden sword in Li Ping's hand not have time to put down.
There is a large platform in the village hall of Xiaoliu Village, and usually any festive events in the village will come to this village hall to gather, and the whole village will eat and drink together. But today's atmosphere in the village hall is not festive, and this solemnity is permeated everywhere.
Li Yuan walked into the village hall and said to the other sect members, "Fellow Daoists, it's too late to come down. ”
Mao Xiangkun said with a smile: "There, thank you Li Daoyou for bringing the children here." ”
Li Yuan said again: "There are a total of 17 children in this village who meet the requirements, and they will arrive soon. Then Li Yuan sat down in his seat and drank the tea. The others didn't say anything, and went about their business, waiting for the children to be gathered in the village hall.
In a few moments, 17 children from the village of Xiaoliu Village stood on the platform. At this time, the village chief stood up and said to the seventeen children, "I have called you here this time because today is the day of the decennial sect selection ceremony. These ten are all cultivators, and whether you can embark on the path of cultivating immortals today depends on the decision of these ten immortals!"
Seventeen children looked at the ten men and women on the platform, and they didn't dare to breathe. Wang Lili, who was on the platform, took the lead in speaking: "Seventeen of you came to touch a stone one by one. As she spoke, Wang Lili took out a big stone from the bag on her waist and threw it in front of Zhao Yan's eyes.
After a while, Dawa came out first, bowed to the ten people at the head of the platform and said, "Xiaoliu Village, Dawa has seen the immortal master. Then he stepped forward and reached out to touch the big stone thrown by Wang Lili. At this time, the ten people at the head of the platform also stared at Dawa's actions.
When Dawa's hand touched the stone, the stone glowed white. Wang Lili opened her mouth and said, "Medium qualification, next one." Dawa looked at her hands, then at the big rocks, and turned to stand aside. Seventeen children then approached the stone.
As soon as Zhao Yan came to the village hall, he was stopped by what the village chief said. Now it was Zhao Yan's turn, Zhao Yan stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand that had already been grinding many calluses to touch the stone. The stone shines like a lit candle. Wang Lili spoke: "Medium qualification, next." Zhao Yan walked to the place where Dawa Station stood and stopped. Looking at the last remaining child, Li Ping, Li Ping was holding a wooden sword in one hand and touching the stone with the other, and suddenly the whole stone seemed to boil. The white light bloomed in a distortion with an astonishing glow. Wang Lili and the others from the sect suddenly stood up. Wang Lili said in a trembling voice: "You actually have the physique of cultivating immortals, are the kid willing to come to my Fire Sect?" I can guarantee that you will be treated the same as me, how about it?" Mao Xiangkun beside Wang Lili suddenly stopped doing it, and said: "Senior Sister Wang, what do you mean, did you start choosing disciples so soon?" Wang Lili suddenly understood that she was out of shape, and she didn't say more, but her eyes were staring at Li Ping.
Li Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Now start the sect selection ceremony. Seventeen people, five people are qualified, and the remaining twelve people can leave. The children, who had not made the stone glow, walked out of the village one by one, dejected. Only Zhao Yan, Li Pingdawa and other five people remained.
Liu Mei at the top said: "Fellow Daoists, it's better to be like this, there are exactly five qualified children here, and we happen to be five sects, so how about one sect?"
Xia Qi replied, "I agree, I'll come first." On behalf of the Taoist Sect, I come to my Taoist Sect to inherit the immortal method of the Taoist Sect and achieve the path of cultivation. ”
Mao Xiangkun answered: "Those who come to my Blue Sword Sect can learn swordsmanship, and this sword is the sword of cultivation." ”
Wang Lili said: "Those who enter my Fire Sect can have the strange fire between heaven and earth, burning all things. ”
Liu Mei said to the only woman among the people, "Would you like to come to my Tianxiang Pavilion?" The rest of the people did not speak. Tianxiang Pavilion only accepts women, and there is only one woman among the people, and the qualifications are not high, so there is no need to snatch it.
The woman standing on the platform hurriedly said in a panic: "Ma Qingqing is willing." Liu Mei nodded and didn't say anything more.
Li Yuan, who had never spoken, looked at the four people except for the woman selected by the Tianxiang Pavilion and said, "Come to my Yin Corpse Sect to practice the art of Yin Corpse, and those who are afraid don't have to choose." ”
After everyone else finished speaking, Wang Lili asked the four children, "Do you want to go to that sect?"
Li Ping preemptively asked Mao Xiangkun first: "The immortal said that you can learn swords when you enter the Blue Sword Sect, is this true?"
Mao Xiangkun replied with a smile: "There is no need to doubt it, my Blue Sword Sect only learns one method, and that is the sword." ”
Li Ping said excitedly: "I, Li Ping, would like to enter the Blue Sword Sect. Hearing this, except for Li Yuan and Liu Mei's expressionless faces, and Mao Xiangkun's smile, the rest of Xia Qi and Wang Lili frowned. Wang Lili asked unwillingly, "Are you sure you want to choose the Blue Sword Sect?"
Li Ping was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. This is Mao Xiangkun to relieve the siege and say: "Why can others choose you from the Fire Sect, but can't they choose me from the Green Sword Sect?" Wang Lili was speechless and didn't say anything more.
Next, Dawa chose the Dao Sect, and the other man chose the Lihuo Sect. Only Zhao Yan had no choice. At this time, Wang Lili said, "This belongs to your Yin Corpse Sect." ”
Li Yuan said: "If he doesn't want to, I won't force him to come to my sect." Then he asked Zhao Yan, "Are you willing to come to my Yin Corpse Sect?"
Zhao Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Is there a beautiful daughter-in-law to marry in the Yin Corpse Sect?" like her, if there is, I will go!" Zhao Yan pointed at Liu Mei. Liu Mei glanced at Zhao Yan with a strange gaze, but didn't say anything.
These words startled the others, and the village chief said in a panic: "Zhao Yan, no matter how you talk, you can cultivate immortals, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want! Don't you quickly make amends to the immortal master!" While Li Yuan laughed: "Aren't you afraid of corpses?"
Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid." ”
Li Yuan saw that Zhao Yan was telling the truth, and immediately laughed and said: "There is a beautiful daughter-in-law to marry, a beautiful daughter-in-law like this Liumei Daoyou, I promise!" As soon as these words came out, Mao Xiangkun, Wang Lili, and Xia Qi all looked at Liu Mei, but Liu Mei was expressionless.
Zhao Yan nodded after hearing this. Dawa and Li Ping all sweated for Zhao Yan, which annoyed the immortal master, and I didn't dare to imagine it. Fortunately, the immortal master did not blame.
Wang Lili looked at Zhao Yan with a strange gaze, and then said: "That's all for today, you go back to your own home to familiarize yourself with the things you need, and gather in the village hall in the evening." ”
Zhao Yan walked out of the village hall under the pull of Dawa and Li Ping.
