Chapter VII: The Deceased
Lin Yizhi walked into the hall blankly, only felt that the hall was very large, although the sky was already bright, but there were still more than a dozen huge white candles lit in the hall, the hall was silent, and the candles dripped on the wax platform and made a soft sound. Lin Yizhi looked around, only to see that the surroundings were extremely empty, but there were more than ten large red pillars in the hall, each pillar was more than five people thick, and the dragon painting was carved on it, and the rare birds and beasts were carved, which was lifelike.
Look at the two sides in front of the hall, there are four sandalwood chairs in each row, each chair sits a person, young or old, black and white ugly, different, on the first chair on the left, there is a long-haired old Taoist priest, with a serious expression, not angry and self-assured, a ball of white beard scattered all over the front heart, eyes slightly closed, a soapy white robe embroidered with a huge gossip pattern, the end is a fairy wind bone. On the second chair was a man dressed as a layman, about forty-five years old, with two black beards, a lilac fairy sword on his back, faintly shining with lightning, his face was resolute and cold, and his expression was silent. On the third chair sat a man with a long figure, but his appearance was ugly and tight, with a long figure, a long neck, but a head the size of a jujube pit, only some scattered hair on the head, light eyebrows, a flat nose and a thick mouth, if it weren't for a crimson fairy sword behind his back, it would make people mistakenly think that he was a harlequin from the troupe standing there. The fourth person is also a Taoist priest, and he looks even more weird, with scattered red hair, bronze hairpins, a big head, facial features like Lei Gong, and a black and red face.
On the first chair on the right side is a monk aunt, with a black green silk that can be mopped on the floor, the hair behind her back is gently tied with white yarn, and she is dressed in a water-blue Taoist robe. On the second chair sat a thin old man, who was in his sixties, of medium height, looking dry and energetic, wearing a gray square hat on his head, but his momentum was dusty and elegant, and he had the demeanor of everyone. On the third chair was a Taoist priest with a long white beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a white and ruddy face, two ears hanging down the shoulders, thick eyelids, and eyes half-closed and half-closed, as if he had been in a fixed position for a long time. On the fourth chair sat a handsome old man, with red lips and white beard, and long eyebrows were also white, looking at Lin Yizhi with a smile.
Lin Yizhi was looking at himself, and suddenly heard the ugly-looking man snort in a low voice: "That kid, I don't know the rules, I came to this big hall of separation from worry, and I didn't give a big salute, but I looked around there, so there were no rules." ”
Lin Yizhi listened, and he didn't have time to look at the head of the Liwu Sect on the high chair in the middle of the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The kid offended for no reason, please don't blame you!: Say it, kowtow."
The middle-aged Mei Dao Gu who was sitting on the right side said softly: "Unruly Senior Brother, don't be weird, this doll is here for the first time, but it is fresh and tight, don't be like him." ”
That ugly man was the first seat of Mo Worry Peak in the Nine Veins of Sorrow, this middle-aged beautiful Dao Gu had a good intention, but he sounded as if he was sneering at him and the junior, so he snorted coldly: "Isn't Senior Sister Phantom Chen taking a fancy to this doll, and you want to accept him as a closed disciple?
It turned out that Dao Gu was the first Phantom Dust Master of Phantom Worry Peak, and when the Phantom Dust Master heard this, her beautiful eyes were round, her face changed a few times, and she suddenly said coldly: "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry about your little sister, because you have too few disciples of Mo Worry Peak, I think it is more appropriate for you to accept him." ”
When Lu Wujian heard this, he slapped his chair and said angrily: "My disciple Mo Youfeng is not Xiao, but are you willing to try if I am worthy of this master as a master!"
The phantom dust master's face was flushed, he flicked the sleeves of his robe lightly, a cold glow flashed in his beautiful eyes, and a light blue fairy sword behind him was already in his hand, and he said coldly: "Senior Brother Lu has such a Yaxing, if Senior Sister doesn't accompany him, won't he be disappointed!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the handsome old man sitting at the end of the right gently stroked his shoulder-length Shou Mei, and hurriedly stood between the two and persuaded: "The two senior brothers, they are both very old, and they are their own brothers and sisters, why are they still so angry." Lu Yun, you take this little doll to get to know all the teachers. ”
Lu Yun had never seen this kind of scene today, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and when he saw Shizun playing a round, he hurriedly dragged Lin Yizhi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and walked in front of this Taoist and said: "Little brother, this is the first seat of Chenwu Peak, and my Shizun is a Taoist with one heart." Lin Yizhi hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, waved his hand wholeheartedly, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, the little doll can rest, and the injury is no longer serious." ”
Lin Yizhi remembered that Lu Yun had told him that his master had saved him, and fed him the Great Anxiety Pill, he was grateful, and hurriedly said: "Boy, thank you for saving your life." ”
The Yixin Taoist smiled, and the gaze that looked at him was a little more kind. Lu Yun pulled Lin Yizhi to the thin old man and said, "Little brother, this is the first master of the Sacrifice Peak Bo Ning. ”
Lin Yizhi was about to kowtow again, but was stopped by the old man, and his thin hand picked up Lin Yizhi: "Hehe, little doll, I don't want to put a stinky shelf on them, old man, I am the best to get along, the old man is bored all day long, and he has time to come to me to talk about Liyang's food." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded again and again. Lu Yun pulled Lin Yizhi to come and said in front of the old Taoist with a white beard, as if he had settled down: "This is the first master of the Hatred Peak Tianyi Daoist." Lin Yizhi knelt down once, and this time he did kowtow three times, and that day Yidao nodded at him, his eyes closed again, and he didn't say anything anymore.
Lu Yun walked too close to the Phantom Dust Master of the Phantom Worry Peak, and before he could speak, Lin Yizhi bowed and said: "Boy Lin Yizhi to meet the Phantom Dust Master, thank you Mrs. Shi......" The Phantom Dust Master nodded at Lin Yizhi and said: "You came here for the first time, the situation just now didn't scare you, I am actually quite kind to the Worry Sect." With that, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wujian on the second chair on the left.
Lin Yizhi didn't dare to say much, just nodded again and again. Lu Yun led him to the fourth chair on the left again, and said to the red-haired Dao Leader who was born with an angry face: "Little brother, this is the first Shi Botian Dao Master of the Anger Peak. ”
Lin Yizhi was busy about to bow down, and that day the angry Dao Chief suddenly said: "No need, you are not my disciple, I am not subject to your three worships!"
Lin Yizhi saw that his temper was hot at this time, so he didn't dare to answer. Lu Yun didn't care when he arrived, and pulled Lin Yizhi to the ugly man who had taught Lin Yizhi a lesson just now, and Lu Wujian approached and said, "This ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Wujian snorted coldly and said, "Pull down, pull down, don't let him worship me, and I don't need to let him know which line of head I am." ”
When Lin Yizhi heard this, he still turned around and bowed to Lu Wujian three times before standing up, but Lu Wujian was stunned for a moment, and turned around with his sleeves.
Lu Yun approached the resolute-looking man again and said, "This is the first Jing Lijing Uncle of the Forbidden Worry Peak. Lin Yizhi bowed down again, and the resolute-faced man bowed to him three times, and his resolute face was awe-inspiring, and he nodded straight at him.
Lu Yun came to the first chair on the left and said, "This is the first senior uncle of Wangwu Peak, Master Qingxuan. ”
Lin Yizhi was about to bow down again, but the Master Qingxuan said with an expressionless face: "Excuse me!" and stopped looking at him.
Lin Yizhi bowed down all the way, only worshipping in the dark. secretly said in his heart: "This time, I have to make up for all the heads that I haven't kowtowed for ten years." ”
Lu Yun was about to introduce the real person in charge to Lin Yizhi, but unexpectedly, the high-ranking real person in charge of the real person spoke first: "Little friend of Yizhi, I don't know if you can bring baked cakes today?"
When Lin Yizhi heard this, a trace of excitement and joy flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that this was not the Daoist Breaking Priest who had been relieving him for half a day in the Dao Breaking Temple on the outskirts of Liyang City!
Lin Yizhi couldn't believe his eyes, and involuntarily stood up, his voice trembling: "You...... You...... Aren't you just ......"
Seeing that Lin Yizhi was suddenly out of order, and he was facing the real person in charge of the Sect of Sorrow, Lu Yun couldn't help but pull the corner of Lin Yizhi's clothes in a hurry and said softly: "Little brother, what's the matter with you, this is the real person in charge of our sect!
Lin Yizhi was halfway through his words, and suddenly heard this difficult voice floating in his ears: "Yizhi Xiaoyou, that's a secret between us, don't tell it!" Lin Yizhi knew that he used the method of sound transmission, so he nodded at the palm of the sect.
Qi Nan's compassionate eyebrows rose slightly, and then he said loudly: "Junior brothers and sisters, this child is a member of Fengling Village on the outskirts of Liyang City, at the foot of Liwu Mountain, I have found out clearly, this son has an innocent background and a pure nature, that Fengling Village was destroyed by the hands of the Demon Sect Refining Valley, and his parents were also unfortunately killed, and his background is extremely pitiful. I think it's okay to let him worship under the Liwu Sect and become a core disciple?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, and even the people who were facing Lin Yizhi's heart, Phantom Chen and others couldn't help but be moved, and the Master Qingxuan stood up and said to him: "The senior brother in charge is merciful, and I have relatives in my heart, but I am away from the tens of thousands of disciples of the Worry Sect, that is not to be picked and picked, selected and selected, not to mention the core, the inner disciples, even the outer disciples have all undergone multiple tests to get the opportunity to enter my mountain gate, this Lin Yizhi or as the senior brother said, but this decision, I am afraid that I will not accept the disciples in the Worry Sect." ”
He said noncommittently: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, how do you know that he has not been tested heavily? The family has suffered a great change, his parents have died, and under the pursuit of the group of demons in the Refining Valley, with his own perseverance and persistence, he climbed to the belly of Liwu Mountain, don't forget that he is still a ten-year-old child, don't say that I am a disciple of Liwu Sect, even you and I were no more than Erer back then." ”
The Venerable Master Qing Xuan was speechless for a moment, and only stayed there.
Tian Yan Dao took a step forward, and did not salute, and said in a thick thunderous voice full of anger: "Senior Brother in charge, this matter is extremely unfair, and I am the first to disagree." ”
He didn't get angry, and chuckled a few times and said, "Senior Brother Tianyi, after hundreds of years, this temper is still irritable, but you tell me why!"
Tian Yan's eyes widened angrily and said: "Since the founding of our Leaving the Sorrow Sect, the patriarch has set a rule that new disciples must enter the trial hall to test the root bones, and according to the talent of the root bones, they can choose to become the outer gate, the inner door or the core disciples, that is, those who are extremely talented, and the new disciples must also go through the consent of the first seat of the master who wants to worship them." He is not very outstanding, even if his life is a little rough, he will not act like this, then I will not become a salvation hall from the Sorrow Sect!"
Qi couldn't hear it, and snorted coldly: "Oh my God, you really have to be careful when you speak!
Master Illusory Dust stood up and said, "Senior brother, Tian Yi was also in a hurry just now, so he didn't hold back his mouth, I think it's better to follow the normal rules, so that it can block Youyou's mouth, and it will also be beneficial to Lin Yizhi's cultivation in the future." ”
Qi turned his head and smiled at Lu Wujian when he heard this, and said with some respect on his expression: "Senior Brother Wujian, what do you think?"
Lu Wujian listened, pondered for a while and said, "What Phantom Chen said this time is still reasonable!"
Phantom Chen snorted coldly, the brick stopped talking, and Lu Wujian said: "But it can't be today, this little doll has experienced a great disaster, and her injuries are not completely healed, and I am afraid it is not fair to enter the trial hall now." ”
Qi Wen stroking his palms and smiling: "What the unrestrained junior brother said is very much in line with my liking, so let's do it, Yizhi Xiaoyou......"
Lin Yizhi was in a trance, thinking about what is called the Trial Hall? Suddenly, when he heard that it was difficult for him to call him, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The old man in charge ...... him."
This sentence caused everyone present to laugh, and even the Master Qingxuan, who had never been smiling, laughed out loud.
Qi Nan smiled and said, "Yizhi Xiaoyou, are you willing to worship under my Sorrow Gate?"
When Lin Yizhi heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The kid is willing!"
Qi smiled and asked: "You didn't even want to think about it, so you decided to worship under my Separation Door, and I ask you, why did you worship into the Separation of Sorrows?"
Lin Yizhi thought for a while and said: "Back to the words of the old man in charge, my house was destroyed by the Refining Valley, my father and mother are dead, I have no place to go, when I was in Liyang, people were the number one sect in the world, and people were very good, I worship here, I can have a home, I can still cultivate, and I can avenge my dead father and mother after cultivating!" Lin Yizhi said, his eyes were full of hatred that was not commensurate with Yu's ten-year-old age, in fact, he still had something to say in his heart, that is, to avenge the real father Lin Tianyin and Yin Li Zong, he was mentally mature at a young age, and he knew that he was the young sect master of Yin Li Sect who had been destroyed, and he couldn't say anything about being killed.
Qi Nan shook his head lightly and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Yizhi Xiaoyou, the Taoist cares about his own heart, he cares about overcoming all difficulties, with the origin of Zhengtian, not worldly grievances, not red dust love, illegal strength, and not immortality, can you remember?"
Lin Yizhi nodded a little blankly, how can a ten-year-old child understand this.
Qi Qian nodded and said, "In this case, you can go with Lu Yun, and in three days, when you come to this hall again, you can enter the trial hall for a try." ”
Lin Yizhi hurriedly kowtowed, and then left with Lu Yun.
Watching Lin Yizhi's thin figure slowly disappear into the rising glow, a trace of imperceptible remembrance and sadness flashed in his eyes.
Senior Brother Lin, I can only help you so far, everything depends on this child's creation......
Suddenly, Master Qing Xuan whispered: "Senior Brother in charge, this kid has contact with the Refining Spirit Valley, and how can he escape from the palms of those people in the Refining Spirit Valley alone?"
Qi Nan said slowly: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, I have asked Lu Yun to investigate the background of this son, and he is a child of a pure white family, there is no doubt about this. ”
Master Qing Xuan pondered for a while and said: "He is innocent with his family background, but this kid seems to have an ulterior secret between his eyebrows, and his grudge is very deep, not to mention that he alone can't escape the pursuit of the Refining Spirit Valley, there are too many doubts in it." I'm just afraid ......"
Qi Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I'm afraid, I'm afraid?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Qing Xuan's eyes: "Now in the cultivation realm, on the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but in fact, the tide is surging, the demon sect is resurrected, this refining valley is known as one of the four major demon sects, I think this Lin Yizhi is not as simple as it seems, it is better to get rid of it......."
Qi Nan said quietly: "According to you, it's a problem, but if you kill by mistake, wouldn't you wronged a good person." ”
The Venerable Master Qing Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go......!"
Before Qing Xuan finished speaking, Qi Yan was already furious, only slapped the chair violently, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, you are the first seat of the Heavenly Punishment for my Sect of Sorrow! How can you say to a child that you would rather kill the wrong person and not let it go, how different is your style from the Demon Sect! I don't have to mention these words again, and without my permission, no one is allowed to investigate this Lin Yizhi at all!"
Sure enough, it was the head of the First Sect, and his momentum was inviolable when he spoke, and a powerful coercion came from the middle of the main hall, and everyone present was in their hearts.
Master Qing Xuan felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "What Senior Brother taught me is that Senior Brother I am too ......."
Qi Nan's face immediately softened, and he said in a serious manner: "Senior brother, you are in charge of punishing on behalf of the heavens, and you are used to killing and deciding on weekdays, but you must remember that we cultivators must not have a trace of distracting thoughts, especially killing thoughts, if not, sooner or later we will fall into the Demon Dao, my words today, all junior brothers and sisters must also keep in mind!"
All the leaders lined up and saluted: "Keep in mind the teachings of the senior brother!"
Lu Wu's curiosity suddenly rose: "Senior brother in charge, you saw Lin Yizhi today and asked him what was the matter with the baked cakes......
Qi was embarrassed, and then smiled: "If you want to know, take him as a disciple, everything is clear......"
Lu Wujian shook his head like a wave drum and said: "I, even if I subtract one Jiazi's Taoism, I will not accept this wild boy who has no manners......"
Everyone was amused by his words......
