Chapter 7 Getting Started
Chapter 7 Getting Started
Although the message left by Chen Li said that the white bamboo was very hard and difficult to cut down, Xiao Ling didn't expect that there would only be a shallow white mark when the knife went down. Xiao Ling was a little dazed. At this time, the queen ant made a "snort" sound at Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling sensed the queen's intention through consciousness, so he issued a command to the queen ant, and the queen ant made a "snort" sound at the ant colony, so the whole ant colony gathered at the root of the white bamboo and began to gnaw it, and after a while, a white white bamboo as white as jade fell to the ground, and the leaves of the white bamboo fell to the ground and fell off automatically. The queen ant "sneered" at Xiao Ling, as if inviting merit, Xiao Ling couldn't help but reach out and pat the queen's head.
Xiao Ling put away the white bamboo, put the fallen white bamboo leaves into his bag, and looked around. There were some purple and black bamboos around, there were more than twenty of them, and they were slowly turning white, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't expect this trial to be completed so quickly.
About a quarter of an hour later, more than 20 purple bamboos all turned white, and the queen ant gave instructions to the ant colony without waiting for Xiao Ling's command, so the entire ant colony began to frantically gnaw on the white bamboo.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 20 white bamboos were gnawed, Xiao Ling was overjoyed, and hurriedly collected the white bamboos and put the leaves of the white bamboo into his bag. Now Xiao Ling's task is completed, but it is not the time to leave the bamboo forest, and it is inevitable that people will suspect that there are ghosts if he leaves now. Therefore, Xiao Ling had to continue to stay in the bamboo forest, waiting for the time of the trial, after all, with the queen ant leading the way, it would only take more than a day at most to get out of the woods.
The next time, Xiao Ling sat in the forest and did something different, resting during the day and looking for Baizhu at night, because if Xiao Ling brought such a large ant colony during the day, he would not be regarded as a monster. However, it is not Xiao Ling's own use to find the white bamboo now, because the purple fire ants like to devour the white bamboo, so Xiao Ling took this group of purple fire ants to find the white bamboo for the purple fire ants, of course, Xiao Ling had to put away the leaves.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, the trialists in the forest had different forms.
In a certain forest, a purple-clothed girl was carrying five or six white bamboos on her back and cutting down a white bamboo in front of her, seeing that the white bamboo was about to fall, her eyes couldn't help but be happy, but the next moment the white bamboo suddenly turned purple slowly, and the crack that was cut at all was also healed quickly. In another forest, the little girl surnamed Yu already had nine white bamboos on her back, and she was about to complete the task.
And the young man Xiao Ling noticed actually had more than ten white bamboos on his back, and I don't know how he did it. Most of the trialists in other parts of the forest had white bamboos on their backs, five or six at most, two or three at the few, and many of them didn't have any at all. Seeing that the time was more than halfway through, the trialists in the forest had different expressions, and most of them were in a hurry, because time was running out. At this time, Xiao Ling was actually sleeping soundly in a purple bamboo forest behind everyone.
As time passed, more and more purple bamboos were cut.
In the blink of an eye, the day after the end of the day, the trialists in the forest rushed desperately to the outside of the forest, and nearly two hundred people had completed the task, and the most of them had seen nearly twenty white bamboos. At this time, Xiao Ling had reached the edge of the purple bamboo forest, the ant colony had been left in the purple bamboo forest by Xiao Ling, and the queen ant was put into Xiao Ling's bag.
Xiao Ling continued to walk forward, and a moment later came to the outside of the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Outside the purple bamboo forest is a green meadow, there is a stone tower in front of the meadow, the stone tower is three or four zhang high, and it is a little more than three floors. The three middle-aged men stood in front of the stone tower and said something to each other.
Xiao Ling walked across the meadow, came to the three of them, and gave a big salute to the three of them. After the middle-aged man waved his hand, he took a few steps back and stood aside.
Half a day has passed, most of the trialists have come out, Xiao Ling looked at it, there were nearly two hundred people who had completed the task, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, he knew that those white bamboos were not so easy to cut. However, there are more than 20 people who only have one or two white bamboos.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was a little dark, and the day passed like this, and no one came out of the forest, and the whole crowd was less than forty or fifty people.
"Today is the last day of the third level of trial, no matter whether you complete the task or not, I want to congratulate you on being alive first! If you don't complete the task, go to Senior Sister Hua's side, Senior Sister Hua will arrange for you to become an outer disciple, take you to receive cultivation materials and some exercises, and explain to you the rules of outer disciples. The middle-aged man looked at the forest and saw that no one came out of the forest, and then walked in front of everyone and said.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the middle-aged beauty walked aside, waved her hand, and a purple jade card appeared in her hand, pinching it with one hand, and the jade card became dozens of zhang in size after a while, and fell to the ground, and a milky white light curtain shrouded the jade card.
"Anyone who has not cut ten white bamboos in the purple bamboo forest, come to this jade plaque, and I will take you to select materials and find suitable exercises. The beautiful woman's voice was as crisp as a yellow bird.
So more than 100 trialists walked to the jade plate one after another with reluctance, and the middle-aged beauty also stepped on the jade plate. The jade plate rose into the air with a slight vibration and flew quickly into the distance.
After the middle-aged man waited for the beautiful woman to leave, he took the thin young man and walked a few steps forward to the trialists who were left behind. And the rest of the trialists were all excited, and the trial for more than a month finally had a beautiful result.
"Congratulations, you have truly become the inner disciples of Qingyunmen, and you will embark on the path of cultivation from now on. Now I need to check what you have gained. Senior Brother Cheng, you come to collect their harvest, check it, record their personal information into the sect spirit, and then arrange for the corresponding family or sect to distribute the reward. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the thin boy nodded.
"Everyone come one by one, hand over the white bamboo you have seen, and give me the jade pendant and other tokens you participated in the trial. Then we'll arrange for you to get started. After listening to the big man, the young man walked up to the trialist and said.
When everyone was still excited, the little girl surnamed Yu took the lead in walking in front of the young man, handed the white bamboo and jade pendant on her back to the young man, and then stood aside with a bow.
"Yu Xueling, eighteen roots, not bad! I didn't expect the descendants of the ancestor to have such qualifications. The young man nodded and said, turning his hand over, and the white bamboo and jade pendant were nowhere to be seen.
Later, one after another, they all stepped forward to hand over the white bamboo and a piece of jade pendant to the young man. Most of them are ten, and there are more than twelve or thirteen, and the young man Xiao Ling noticed is called Lu Jian, and he has handed over twenty roots, which is the most among all of them. And a girl in purple actually handed over eighteen roots, as many as the little girl surnamed Yu, I don't know how she did it in the second half of the month, after all, she only saw five or six in the first half of the month.
Xiao Ling handed over thirteen, originally he had more than twenty, but Xiao Ling didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he only kept thirteen, and the rest were given to the purple fire ants in large pieces, of course, a few were broken by Xiao Ling and put away. However, what Xiao Ling was most satisfied with was that he had collected a large number of white bamboo leaves, and once the cultivation began, he could slowly use the secret method to integrate the white bamboo leaves into his body to enhance the strength of his body.
When the last teenager handed over eleven white bamboos, the middle-aged man looked happy and nodded at everyone.
The big man released a hexagoprism with one hand, pinched the trick, and became nearly a hundred zhang in size, and with a wave of his sleeves, everyone was instantly moved to the hexagoprism, and a light curtain protected everyone, and the next moment the hexagoprism broke through the air and flew to a mountain peak in the distance.
Xiao Ling looked at the strange mountain peaks in front of him through the light curtain, his heart was excited, and he worked hard to persevere, and now he has finally become an official disciple of Qingyunmen, and the family will receive a lot of rewards, and with these rewards, the family will also develop greatly. Parents and siblings can also reap a lot of benefits, and they no longer have to work as hard as before to barely survive.
Xiao Ling knew that the door of cultivation had been opened to him, no matter whether he would be able to achieve the Great Dao in the future, but he would continue to walk on this road as always, looking for his own opportunities and heavenly paths.
The hexagoprism flew extremely fast, and it flew over more than ten peaks in one meal, and came to a peak thousands of zhang high. This peak is different from the one seen outside, the peak resembles a tall altar. On the round mountain, there is actually a platform the size of several miles in a radius, and a huge temple is built on the platform, and the temple occupies most of the entire platform. There is a five-colored cloud over the temple that shrouds the temple, the cloud and mist appear very thick, and the fragrance emitted makes people feel refreshed after smelling it.
The hexagonal prism fell on the bluestone clearing in front of the temple, and with a wave of the big man's sleeves, the hexagonal prism disappeared in the sleeves, and everyone stood on the bluestone ground. An old man in a black face and purple robe walked out of the hall, and as soon as the old man appeared, he looked at everyone, and the old man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made Xiao Ling's heart tighten. Xiao Ling felt that the old man seemed to look at him more.
"Senior Brother Ma, these are the disciples who have passed this trial, the number is slightly more than before, and the qualifications are still very good. The big man said to the old man.
"Well, Senior Brother Xue and Senior Brother Yuan, you two have worked hard, now these people will be handed over to me. But maybe these little guys will surprise the sect this time. The old man said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ma. All of you, listen up, now you have become a disciple of the Forging Body Hall of Qingyun Sect. But since you don't have the slightest mana now, Senior Brother Ma is teaching you in this body forging hall now. The matter of cultivation is also arranged by Senior Brother Ma, now you can enter the hall with Senior Brother Ma. After the big man finished speaking, he and the thin boy gave a slight salute to the black-haired old man.
"Senior Brother Ma, retire!" the two of them flew away into the distance.
"Come in, little ones!" said the old man, as he stepped into the temple.
After looking at each other, they entered the temple one by one. After entering the palace, Xiao Ling's eyes were filled with dense vats, which were as many as hundreds. Each vat was more than four feet high, and the two teenagers hugged each other. Xiao Ling felt very strange, what was this vat for, but it was definitely not useless to be able to be in this palace. The old man took everyone through the dense vat, and came to the back of the hall, the hall is more than 300 zhang in size, there are hundreds of futons in it, the hall is for a statue that can not be seen clearly, and there are some strange fruits in front of the statue. A bronze incense burner burned with more than ten chopstick-thick green incense, and bursts of faint incense emanated in the main hall.
The old man walked to the statue, knelt down at the statue, and kowtowed respectfully three times.
"Qingyun Patriarch, bless me Qingyun Gate. The patriarch has a spirit, and the younger Ma Qingyuan brought 198 disciples to worship the patriarch. I hope that the ancestor will bless my disciples of Qingyunmen, and I hope that Qingyunmen can regain the power of the ancients. ”
Xiao Ling and the others heard the sound of the old man bowing, and everyone knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times. However, Xiao Ling vaguely saw that the statue's gaze was a little sad, and it was fleeting.
When everyone had finished kowtowing, the old man turned around, sat cross-legged on a futon, and motioned for everyone to sit down. So these young men and women sat on the futon in the form of the old man, listening to the old man's lecture.
"Little guys, first of all, congratulations on becoming a disciple of the Qingyunmen Forging Body Palace, and the reward for your family or sect Senior Brother Xue will be arranged. But I'm also here to talk to you about cultivation. If you fail to meet the requirements in cultivation within three years, you will be removed from the Qingyun Sect, and at that time, you will also be deprived of your qualifications to become a disciple of the outer sect. This will happen after every beginner disciple's cultivation, don't think that you can truly become a cultivator after a trial. You must know that the first trial of the sect is only to confirm that you are qualified to cultivate enlightenment, and the trial of the path of cultivation will accompany you throughout your life, and your path of cultivation and enlightenment is only now unfolding, if you do not have a strong will, good understanding, it is destined that your path of cultivation cannot go too far, such a person is not what we Qingyunmen need. What Qingyunmen needed was a cultivation genius who could go extremely far. You have been able to prove that you are geniuses through trials, but there is no shortage of geniuses in the sect, and what the sect needs is geniuses with tenacity. It is only with tenacity that you will be able to go further. The old man said sharply.
