Chapter 191: Punish kowtow and swear to join the Immortal Sect
The Hall of Oath is the most important place in the Imperial Sword Sect. The golden statue of the ancestor of the founding sect of the Imperial Sword Sect is enshrined here, and everyone who has been approved by the Imperial Sword Sect must first come here and make an oath before they can become a true disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect.
Such an important place, but it is not within the sect of the Imperial Sword Sect, for no other reason, don't look at the Hall of Oath is only enshrined in the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect, but it is said that a long time ago, when the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect chose to leave the sect and wander around to seek to break through the highest realm, he once left a trace of immortal consciousness attached to this golden statue. In order to prevent the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect from disturbing this trace of immortal consciousness of the ancestor in their daily cultivation and life, the predecessors of the Imperial Sword Sect at that time, within the control of the Imperial Sword Sect, found a quiet place with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant spiritual energy, and established a very simple but very imposing hall as a place to worship the golden statue of the ancestor. Of course, the guards here are also extremely tight, and within a radius of several miles, not even a single mosquito should be close to it.
Wang Yan, Li Yuncong and Su Mu passed all the tests, and the Imperial Sword Sect had an immortal who was specially responsible for leading the disciples who joined the Imperial Sword Sect to the Hall of Oaths, and strictly checked the identities of the three of them. After confirming that they were correct, the immortals took the three of them outside the Hall of Oaths.
"This is the Hall of Oaths, which enshrines the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect, and you go in turn to worship and make your vows. From now on, you are the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect, and you must dedicate everything you have to the development and growth of the Imperial Sword Sect wholeheartedly.
"Li Yuncong, you are the first to enter the Hall of Oaths. "Lead Wang Yan. Li Yuncong and Su Mulai brought the immortals of the Imperial Sword Sect here to make arrangements in the order in which they registered.
Gently pushing open the door of the Hall of Oaths, Li Yuncong walked in, and then, the door closed automatically, making it impossible for people outside to know anything about the situation inside the Hall of Oaths.
After a long time, Li Yuncong finally came out, holding a white jade plaque and an ordinary fairy sword in his hands. It was an identity card that symbolized him becoming a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect and the immortal sword that was associated with him.
After Li Yuncong, it was Su Mu's turn to enter the Hall of Oaths to worship and swear, because she also signed up earlier than Wang Yan.
After another wait. Wang Yan saw that Su Mu also successfully got her identity card and the fairy sword that was attached to her. Walk out of the Hall of Oaths.
It was time for him to enter the Hall of Oaths, and Wang Yan didn't wait for the immortals of the Imperial Sword Sect to announce it, so he walked directly to the gate of the Hall of Oaths, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open. Walk into the main hall of the Hall of Oaths.
Enter the Hall of Oaths. Wang Yan found out. The inside of the hall, where the doors and windows were closed, was not as dark as he had imagined. This is the credit of the dozens of round pearls that are set around the main hall, and the soft light that emanates from these pearls. They are intertwined with each other in the main hall, dispelling the coldness and darkness while adding some mystery to the main hall.
The golden statue of the Ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect was built in the center of the main hall against the back wall of the main hall. The front of the statue faces the door, and in front of it is a large sandalwood table with an incense burner and various offerings.
To the left and right of the sandalwood table stood two immortals of the Imperial Sword Sect, a man and a woman, who were in charge of daily rituals, and at this time, they played the role of receiving those who passed the test to come and take the oath.
After Wang Yan saw the situation in the Hall of Oaths, he didn't step forward directly, but first raised his head to look at the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect. Who knows, as soon as Wang Yan's gaze moved to the face of this statue, he felt an incomparably powerful coercion from this lifeless statue. Wang Yan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head, no longer daring to look directly at the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect.
"Bold! The holy face of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect, how can you, an outsider who has not yet sworn to join the Imperial Sword Sect, casually pay homage! Come and accept the punishment!" the male immortal standing on the left side of the sandalwood table reprimanded Wang Yan angrily. It's just that his voice was directly transmitted to Wang Yan's ears by him using immortal arts, and not a single sound spread out, and the main hall of the Hall of Oaths was still silent. You must know that this is an important place to worship the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect, and no one is allowed to make noise, not even the two male and female immortals who are responsible for the daily sacrifice.
"Aren't you putting this statue facing the gate for the people who enter the main hall to admire? What's more, after I take the oath, I will be an immortal disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, is it also a sin to look at the dignity of the ancestor in advance?" Wang Yan is not a three-year-old child, he can be frightened casually, and he doesn't think that there is anything wrong with him looking at the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect, so he didn't listen to the male immortal and accept the punishment in the past.
"Quiet. Loud speech is not allowed here, otherwise it will be an offense to Master Zu, and we have the right to deprive you of the opportunity to join the Imperial Sword Sect. Now hurry up and come over to offer incense to Master Zu and ask for Master Zu's forgiveness. The female fairy standing on the right side of the sandalwood table couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard Wang Yan's voice. However, the words that were also reprimanding Wang Yan were not offensive at all when they came out of the mouth of the female fairy.
As soon as the female fairy said this, Wang Yan naturally didn't dare to disobey anymore. It took so much effort to pass all the tests and get the opportunity to join the Imperial Sword Sect, if you are deprived of it because you say a word or two here, then there is nowhere to redress your grievances.
Not daring to make a sound, Wang Yan gently walked to the sandalwood table, knelt on the futon on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully three times to the golden statue of the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect.
"Your sincerity is not enough, how can you get the forgiveness of Master Zu with only three kowtows? I didn't ask you to stop, you have to kowtow all the time!" Wang Yan just wanted to get up and salute incense, and the words of the male immortal came into his ears here.
Kowtowing three heads can't get forgiveness from the ancestor of the Imperial Sword Sect? This is obviously just a statue. Thinking of what the male immortal said before, Wang Yan knew that this was a male immortal deliberately punishing himself. Bear with it, who let himself want to join the Imperial Sword Sect to learn immortal arts.
The sound of kowtowing 'dong dong dong', one after another, echoed in the main hall of the Hall of Oaths.
"Get up. Prepare incense and vows. When Wang Yan had kowtowed a hundred times, the male immortal finally ended his punishment of Wang Yan and made Wang Yan incense and swear.
Wang Yan stood up, took the three pillars of long-lit incense from the hands of the female fairy, carefully inserted it into the incense burner on the sandalwood table, and knelt on the futon again at the signal of the female fairy.
"This is the oath to join the Edgeworth Sect, and you take it to heart now, and swear to your ancestors. The female fairy took out a piece of jade and handed it to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan stretched out his hands and took Yu Jue. After finishing that, he put Yu Jue on his forehead, and suddenly, a text appeared in his mind, which was the oath to join the Imperial Sword Sect. Wang Yan only read it once, and he firmly remembered all the oaths.
"I am Wang Yan, and I swear to Master Zu! I am willing to join the Imperial Sword Sect, abide by all the rules and regulations of the sect, conscientiously cultivate the immortal arts of the Imperial Sword Sect, and promise never to reveal any immortal arts to outsiders who are not from the Imperial Sword Sect.
No matter how strong my cultivation is in the future, I will never betray the Imperial Sword Sect, and when the sect is in trouble, I will defend it to the death!" As soon as Wang Yan's words fell, the golden statue of the Imperial Sword Sect Ancestor in front of him flashed with light. This extremely faint, almost imperceptible light, instantly drilled into Wang Yan's mind, forming a soul imprint.
"Wang Yan, get up. The oath has been imprinted in your body, and if you break it in the future, you will end up in disgrace.
Now, congratulations on becoming a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, this is the fairy sword you became attached to, take it and return to the Imperial Sword Sect to learn immortal arts. The female fairy smiled and handed a fairy sword that she had taken out of nowhere to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan took the fairy sword, and after a closer look, it was indeed the blue-gray broken fairy sword that was associated with him.
"Wang Yan, this is your identity jade plate, you must be careful and keep it properly. If you lose it, get it by someone with ulterior motives, and do something unfavorable to the Edgeworth Sect, all the consequences will be borne by you. The male immortal handed Wang Yan a jade plaque and gave a warning.
Wang Yan took the identity jade card, and from this moment on, he finally got his wish and successfully joined the Imperial Sword Sect. Suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, Wang Yan bowed to the two immortals of the male and female and left the Hall of Oaths. (To be continued......)
