- Chapter 214 In front of Qingsong Temple, the apprenticeship ceremony
Luoyan City.
Green Pine View.
Blue bricks and green tiles, red pheasants and white terraces.
Under the wall, which is about ten feet high, is a large square with a square area of dozens of feet.
Outside the square, a white line marked the boundary. People watching the excitement crowded outside the white line, but no one dared to cross the boundary.
Although Qingsong Guan is not comparable to those famous mountain resorts, it still has more than 70 years of experience in Luoyan City. Even the city lord must treat his abilities with respect, and the people in the city are naturally more in awe.
However, in this awe, in addition to respect for the accomplished masters, there is also a bit of unexplainable hidden fear.
Just look at the people. Although they crowded out to watch the excitement, no one dared to put their toes on the white line.
And right in the middle of the square, a white-bearded man in robes stood on a high platform, he didn’t care about the eyes of those foolish men and women, just closed his eyes slightly, made a tactic with his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.
The three attendants in front of him knelt down and bowed their heads, raising their hands above their heads. In their palms was a half-foot-long incense candle, which had not yet been lit.
Behind him is a large furnace with four pillars. The accumulation of ashes in the furnace is obviously very historical.
I saw the Taoist robed man at this moment, with the tactic in his hand, after he finished reciting the words, he suddenly waved his hand, and the incense candles in the hands of the three of them moved without wind, following the movement of the Taoist robed man’s hand, one by one flew into the furnace behind him .
The three handymen completed their current tasks, and immediately got up and stood aside respectfully, while the Taoist man turned around and bowed, bowed, and bowed to the incense burner:
“Preach the word to the world and respect heaven and earth first!
“Open the door to view, and then pay respect to the mountain gate!
“Teach your disciples and then respect your master!
“The three rites have passed, let’s hold a grand pawn!”
And following the three worships of the white-bearded man in Taoist robes, the three pillars of high incense in the incense burner were also ignited one by one. Such a miraculous scene caused the crowd watching the excitement outside the venue to exclaim, and one of the people His eyes were filled with brilliance.
“Interesting, it’s definitely not a trick to conceal the eyes or a device. These incense sticks were really lit. Just now, my ‘divine mind’ caught a strange fluctuation… Could it be that this is the source of the extraordinary power in this world?
“There is also the movement of his fingers and the utterance that he deliberately silenced his voice just now. The moment the lip language ended, the movement of the fingers just ended, and at this moment, the strange fluctuation became the largest… Could it be that Is this the way spells are cast in this world? Holding a charm and chanting a spell?
“At present, I have only sensed that strange fluctuation slightly, and I have no way to use it accurately-but I have completely recorded the twitching of this person’s facial muscles, as well as the subtle movements of his fingers, so we can deduce this ‘curse’ in reverse. The way the law is released…I just don’t know if other elements need to be introduced to cause that kind of strange fluctuation…”
While Xi Gu was thinking like this, the Taoist man on the stage already said loudly to the people outside:
“Today is the new apprenticeship ceremony of Qingsong Temple. I am Taoist Kiyuan, the guardian of the temple, and I am here to open the door to teach disciples according to the Lord’s will. Anyone who is interested can come here to test their roots. If they can enter the Tao, they can join me During the contemplation, you can practice the Immortal Family’s exercises and enjoy the blessing of immortality!”
As soon as he said this, many people outside the venue suddenly became agitated. Xi Gu secretly looked behind him, and many people’s eyes were filled with movement.
Xi Gu recalled what that “Bao Dian Wen” said, and raised his brows slightly – “there is a problem with the apprenticeship of Qingsong Temple”, the information can be found out with dozens of taels of silver, it should be a secret in Luoyan City, but it is not buried It’s such a deep secret, why no one around me shows any doubts.
But with a movement of the divine sense, a radius of twenty-three feet can cover most of the surrounding people. From the divine sense like a high-definition camera, Xi Gu clearly “sees” among the onlookers, those people who are excited and happy on the surface. Many people were wearing coarse linen clothes, but the lining inside them was made of the same material as the linings of the handymen next to the Taoist robes on the stage, and they immediately understood the reason.
“… Are they the ‘plainclothes’ and ‘group performers’ from Qingsongguan, maintaining order here?”
In an instant, Xi Gu’s confidence in what “Bao Wenwen” said increased from 70% to 95%.
In addition, he also noticed that besides the crowd of onlookers, there were many pedestrians sneaking past with their heads lowered, as if they were avoiding trouble and looked tired.
So the credibility of that information went up again by a few percentage points.
Of course, there were indeed some people in the crowd who were really moved by the Taoist’s words, and they didn’t seem to be ‘group performers’ or ‘plain clothes’ people, but in the observation of divine sense, some of these people seemed to be passing through Luoyan City Some of the merchants looked confused and were not very well-informed about local news.
“It seems that this Qingsong Temple has been ‘killed’ many times in Luoyan City, and now it mainly preys on foreigners and reckless strangers.
“But… wouldn’t this be just right?”
Xi Gu smiled slightly and took a step forward when everyone else was faintly commotion but no one came forward.
But at this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from behind –
“Taoist Master, I’m coming!”
…
Luoyan City, the city lord’s mansion.
The mansion has a tall building, about five feet high and more than ten feet in diameter.
From the high-rise building, you can overlook the scenery of the city, and invite the birds to visit and watch the white clouds in the sky.
The Lord of Luoyan City used to invite his subjects to gather here. At night, the lights are brightly lit. Under dozens of ever-burning lamps fueled by shark oil, he invites famous performers to accompany the guests and dancers to accompany the guests.
However, today, Lin Yuanjiang, the Lord of Luoyan City, followed by a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, and several of the most trusted attendants in the mansion, quietly stepped onto the stage, looking towards the southeast side of the city, on the square where the door opening ceremony was held, and his tone was a bit grim.
“…The old man in Qingsong Temple is recruiting disciples again.”
“Is father worried that he will harm Luoyan City? That man doesn’t know what kind of exercises he cultivates. Since the apprentice acceptance ceremony is held every two years, every time he passes, the disciples who have started will have no news… the secret It’s hard to fathom.”
The girl with bright eyes and white teeth next to her looked in the direction of Qingsongguan, with deep guard in her eyes.
“I’m not worried about Luoyan City, I’m worried about you, Ying’er.”
Lin Yuanjiang glanced at the girl worriedly and sighed:
“You are extremely talented. You were born with the ‘six points of Taoism’. You have been practicing until now, and you have been valued by the elders of the Xiaguang Sect. Now you are only sixteen years old in the income sect, and you have already cultivated to the fourth level of Qi training. It is not impossible to cultivate into a Dharma Embryo, or even become a real person of Zhuji. Although I have the ninth level of Qi training, I am only the deacon of the outer door of the Xiaguang Sect. Being riddled with mundane filth, one is powerless against monks in the same realm, and there is no possibility of entering the realm of cultivation in this life.
“…The Qingsong Guanzhu also knows that you have ‘six points of Taoism’. Since you were young, you have been eyeing you. He has told me many times that he wants to take you as a disciple. The persecution has become increasingly serious. Fortunately, Elder Xue has taken a fancy to you , accept you as a personal transmission——she also has a kind of dharma realm, which can resist the pressure brought by Qingsong Guanzhu. However, on the surface, Qingsong old man has regressed, but secretly I always feel that he is still paying attention to you, and he has not given up in his heart …”
Speaking of this, Lin Yuanjiang glanced at the girl, and in the end, he could only say something deep.
“…Ying’er, even if I risk my life as a father, I will always protect you!”
Lin Yuanjiang’s words were heavy, but Lin Ying’er’s eyes not only showed no fear, but also had a confident and high-spirited temperament:
“Father, you don’t need to be so worried. I have a master to take care of me, and I have a teacher to take care of me. Even if the Qingsong Guanzhu is a cultivator, he can’t do anything to me—and my father is the lord of the city. Qingsong Guanzhu If you have an agenda, aren’t you afraid of the wrath of the dynasty?”
“Alas alas…”
For his daughter who was so confident and seemed to think he was alarmist, Lin Yuanjiang could only sigh continuously:
“Even if there are only a handful of cultivators in the Xiaguang Sect, one of them even has a grudge with the person I used to rely on. Although my reliance has fallen, I am afraid that the grudge will still remain… and Elder Xue once had a relationship with me. It is clear that the Green Pine Temple Lord has a deep inner power, and once she breaks out, even she may not be able to defeat it, but because the surrounding cities are controlled by the Xiaguang Sect, she was afraid, so she didn’t make a move. , but the Xiaguang Sect will not offend the living master of cultivation for the dead talents – so… don’t trust too much in the protection of the master’s sect.
“…As for the Dayan Dynasty, if the royal family had not fallen in the past, and the Master Miaoyu Patriarchal Master had not left the State Teacher’s Mansion, there might still be some deterrent power. But now that the state capital is independent, and the Immortal Dao Sect is on the sidelines, the Yan Kingdom seems to be becoming History. A monk like Master Qingsong Monastery is rampant and unscrupulous. Unless there is someone who is at the pinnacle of his skills and even master Ji Ji takes action, who can make him fearful?”
Speaking of this, Lin Yuanjiang sighed again.
“…Ying’er, take care of yourself!”
“I see.”
Faced with her father’s sincere guidance, Lin Ying’er finally put away her previous confidence and replied in a low voice:
“My daughter knows.”
“…That’s good.”
Lin Yuanjiang couldn’t bear to be too harsh on his most cherished daughter. He nodded and swallowed back more words.
Looking back, he looked at the scene of the “Apprenticeship Ceremony” in front of Qingsong Temple. The next moment, what happened at the scene made him and Lin Ying’er both “huh” softly, and faint shock appeared in their eyes Color!
