Chapter 76 Ghostly Tricks
After the monks at the summit had almost recovered their physical strength, Xie Fangweicai stood in front again and said calmly: "The following is an interrogation of the wealth and background, the first twenty in the Qi nourishing period, the first twenty in the out-of-body period, and the first ten in the Qi entrainment period. Go in front of the three inner sect disciples in order. The monks who follow you can leave or wait where you are. If the monks in front of you have concealed something or have backgrounds that do not meet the requirements of our Penglai sect, you can take over in sequence. "
Then Xie Fangwei read out the names of the first 40 people in the Qi-nurturing period, the out-of-body period, and the first 20 people in the Qi-entraining period. Shi Xuan was ranked seventeenth in the out-of-body stage because of his weak bones, while Yu Ruoshui was ranked fourteenth. Unfortunately, Zhou Dielan was ranked twenty-second among the cultivators in the Qi-nourishing stage, only missing a few points to reach the top twenty. As expected, Ming Qingyue ranked first in the air entrainment period.
Surprisingly, Zhang Haiping was ranked twenty-ninth. Although he still did not enter the top twenty, it was much better than Shi Xuan expected. Before, Shi Xuan thought that he would not be able to pass the xinxing test. Thinking about it these days He made friends everywhere, which had some effect.
The person responsible for the interrogation of the monks in the nourishing stage is a cold-faced girl monk with a beautiful face, but no expression at all. Even among the female monks with outstanding looks, she is considered to be the best, at least Shi Xuan has seen. Among the female monks, in terms of beauty, only Ming Qingyue could compare with her. Unfortunately, their temperaments were completely different.
The person responsible for the interrogation of the monks in the entrainment stage was the inner disciple named Bai whom Shi Xuan had met before, while the interrogator of the monks in the out-of-body stage was a male monk named Qin.
Ming Qingyue's foundation was very clear to the Penglai sect. The inner disciple named Bai just asked a few casual questions and let her pass. Then she stood behind Xie Fangwei and expressed concern. Looking at the interrogation from the monks in the out-of-body stage.
The boy who was ranked first in the out-of-body stage was a boy named Yu Wenwen. He looked childish and arrogant. Shi Xuan heard the two people in front of him discuss that this guy came from overseas countries and was a little over fifteen years old. He has broken through to the out-of-body stage and is only seventeen years old this year. He is truly a genius. Shi Xuan couldn't talk about having low self-esteem. After all, he had only been cultivating Taoism for more than three years strictly. He could only secretly curse in his heart. He was considered a genius, so Ming Qingyue, who was in the Qi-entraining period at the age of sixteen, was nothing.
During the cross-examination, the inner disciple surnamed Qin and the cold-faced female monk were both very strict, but what made Shi Xuan half-hearted was that they only used lie detection techniques. The method can effectively deal with lie detection. Although the success rate is not 100%, it is still 70% to 80%, so it is worth taking the risk.
Most of the questions in the cross-examination were "Where are you from?" "What kind of exercises have you learned?" "What is your previous experience?" "Have you ever been a disciple?" "Are there any familiar people in your hometown?" "Why did you come to Penglai Sect?" etc.
Relatively speaking, the inner disciples surnamed Qin were more rigorous in questioning, and even asked questions such as "Have you ever killed anyone?" and "Why did you kill?"
After the petite female monk Gu Heyun, who ranked second in the out-of-body period, and the tall man Qi Guanyu, who ranked third, successfully passed the test, the fourth and gloomy monk in black ran into trouble. He was tested by a lie detector when answering about the exercises he had learned. After finding out that he was lying, he had no choice but to answer that he was practicing the "Bone Transformation and Ecstasy Technique", which made all the monks take a breath. This is a famous evil method among casual cultivators. Although it is not notorious, the transformation of the practice is The bone ecstasy infuriating energy will dissipate the soul of the person who is the winner, leaving only a skin bag. The effect is already frightening to those who hear it.
Naturally, Tian Yong, the gloomy monk in black clothes, could not pass the test. He was invited out of the peak by the monk named Qin. This made Shi Xuan let go of the other half of his heart. Even if he was found to have lied about his skills, he would be invited out of Penglai. The fate of Pai was not to be killed on the spot or imprisoned as he imagined.
Starting from Tian Yong to the fourteenth Yu Ruoshui, none of the inner disciples surnamed Qin can be demoted to one more person, because these are all well-established monks in the Three Islands Sea Area, either from a famous family on a certain island, or He was an innocent local cultivator who could not be more innocent, either a monk affiliated with a disciple of the Penglai sect, or even a disciple of the three major families of the sect.
This made the inner disciple named Qin feel more and more guilty the more he was questioned. He remembered his promise to Meng Yuchang. If he could not let his younger brother enter the sect, not only would he not get any benefits, but he might even be resented by him. If you say this in front of Master Li Meng, life will be extremely difficult from now on.
Finally, after the fifteenth ranked monk was unable to answer the question of his adventures over the years, the inner disciple surnamed Qin was only one person away from the goal. There were seven more behind him, and he should be able to drop one more person.
Meng Yuchang mingled among the deacon's outer disciples and watched the situation anxiously. Even though he had been demoted to two people and was only one away from his younger brother, his face was still livid. Maybe Junior Brother Qin hadn't noticed yet. , the five people ranked in front of his younger brother are all monks from other families in the sect. If there is any problem with their financial background, the Penglai sect will make other sects laugh out loud. Therefore, the opportunities are only for the two ranked sixteenth and seventeenth.
The inner disciple named Qin quietly glanced at Meng Yuchang and was startled by his livid face and sharp eyes. Is that the case? Aren't there several more people behind this? When Jie Wei, who was the sixteenth, came up, he took a closer look at the list of monks at the back. This sight frightened me. From the eighteenth to the twenty-second, there were people with the surname Yu, and some with the surname Yu. Even mediocre, even the grandson of a certain elder from the inner sect, I dare not offend anyone. After all, even if I dare to offend, there is no excuse!
No wonder Meng Yuchang's face was so ugly. It seemed that he could only choose one of the two. The inner disciple surnamed Qin looked at Jie Wei who came up with eager eyes, which frightened this beautiful girl with a childish face who was always smiling and had no formal appearance. He jumped and touched his face. He couldn't remember offending this uncle.
The questions went smoothly at the beginning. When the inner disciple surnamed Qin asked: "Have you ever become a disciple?" ”
The disciple surnamed Qin perked up and said, "If you don't say the master's name, you can go home. Even if you say the master's name, the way you are hesitating must be a ghost, so he opened his eyes wide and shouted softly: "Who do you worship? If you can’t tell me, please come back.”
Meng Yuchang, who was watching, also gently clenched his fists.
Jie Wei frowned and said, "It's what you asked me to say. If my master blames you, you have to bear the blame."
"Say quickly, if your master dares to come to Penglai, I will take care of him!" The disciple surnamed Qin became anxious.
Jie Wei smiled charmingly: "Her name is Yu Linglong."
The disciple surnamed Qin, who was just about to shout "Where did he come from?" suddenly came to his senses: "Jade! Yu Linglong!" He looked at the light of the polygraph in disbelief, but it didn't turn red!
Thinking back to what he said just now, and thinking of that beautiful but violent-tempered woman, the disciple surnamed Qin really wanted to die. Uncle Jade Master only needs one Zifu thunder to blast him until nothing is left.
Meng Yuchang let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he was the disciple that the Jade Master's uncle had accepted from outside. No one dared to demote this person. Even his own grandfather did not dare to face the woman's anger.
But Meng Yu tried to comfort himself, wasn't there another one, Shi Xuan? I have never heard of it at all, just let Junior Brother Qin find any excuse to be demoted!
The monks present were even more shocked than they were during the "Bone Transformation and Ecstasy Technique" just now. Even Xie Fangwei, who had always maintained a quiet and peaceful smile, let out a light sigh. Only the cold-faced Lei Lord Mo Yuan continued to sit and practice without any change in his expression. . Who is Yu Linglong? The top ten golden elixir masters in the world! And it ranks second, only under Hunyuan Patriarch! But she hasn’t been forming pills for fifty years yet! Patriarch Hunyuan is a veteran monk who has been cultivating elixirs for more than 100 years. It is said that he will break through to the Yinhun stage in less than ten years and withdraw from the Tianji Ranking. By then, Yu Linglong will be the first of the top ten golden elixir masters in the world!
Being accepted as a disciple by such a monk was a great opportunity. All the monks looked at Jie Wei with envy, jealousy and hatred. They lamented in their hearts why they were not themselves. At the same time, they looked at Mo Yuan with eager eyes. Although this person is only ranked ninth in the Tianji Ranking, he has only been in the alchemy for eighteen years and has never accepted a disciple. If he takes a fancy to him and accepts him as a disciple, he will laugh out of his dreams.
Seeing the reactions of these monks, Shi Xuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Opportunities come by chance but cannot be sought. One's own cultivation is the foundation.
When Xie Weiwei walked up behind Xie Fangwei with a sly smile, the disciple named Qin regained his senses, turned to look at Meng Yuchang, and saw that he was gesticulating with his hands on his neck with a ferocious expression, and he immediately understood what he meant. Meaning, no matter what excuse you make, the next person must be demoted.
Shi Xuan took a deep breath, used the supreme method of restraining his thoughts, and slowly walked to the disciple named Qin. He saw him holding the magic spell and applying the lie detection technique to himself, and soon a white light glowed. If you lie to yourself, the white light will turn red.
The disciple surnamed Qin knew that success or failure depended on this one person, so he calmed down his emotions. All these years of practice were not in vain. His expression returned to Gu Jing's unwavering expression, and his heart was very clear-headed, thinking about how to induce Shi Xuan to answer the question.
"Where does it come from, the sea or the land of cultivation?" The disciple surnamed Qin started the interrogation with the most normal questions.
"The Realm of Middle Earth." Shi Xuan didn't dare to lie on this issue. Things that would be known after a subsequent investigation showed that Qingyue also knew about it.
Shi Xuan's answer also aroused a wave of exclamation, but it was not envy or fear, but surprise and ridicule. The Middle Earth Realm is a famous cultivation wasteland, and it was not brought out by breaking through to the entrainment stage. Naturally, it was All the monks who had seen the world in the world of cultivation looked down upon him, especially the monks behind Shi Xuan, who even whispered and laughed at him.
"What exercises do you practice?" is still a standard question.
Shi Xuan couldn't think of anything and said calmly: "Gui Zhen Sutra." The white light was still white light, but Shi Xuan did not dare to relax.
"Oh, who taught it? But have you ever been a master?" There was nothing wrong with the exercise, it was like an orthodox exercise. The disciple surnamed Qin started to ask two questions in a row.
Shi Xuan replied calmly: "I have learned from my master, and the Guizhen Jing was taught by my master Xu Chengye."
"Then where does his skill come from?" The disciple surnamed Qin asked a somewhat biased question.
"It comes from a chance encounter." These are all facts, and Shi Xuan is not afraid of being asked.
"Did he tell you, or did you see it with your own eyes?" The disciple surnamed Qin's question became even more bizarre. Even the other disciples and monks next to him were confused.
"Master said it." Although Shi Xuan had a bad premonition, he still answered honestly.
The disciple surnamed Qin shouted sharply: "Then the origin of the skills is unknown! How do you know that your master's skills were not taught by a heretic?! How do you know if that heretic has a grudge against our Penglai sect?! How do you know that you won't in the future? Are you being used by them? "Every sentence is full of heart-breaking remarks. At first glance, it seems to make some sense. But after thinking about it carefully, you will realize that it is all an excuse and an unfounded accusation.
Even if Shi Xuan was made of clay, he would still be angry. He was slandered like this and attacked Master Xu! Just as he was about to reply, the disciple surnamed Qin had already concluded: "Your skills are of unknown origin. For the sake of my Penglai Sect, please go back."
The disciple surnamed Qin was betting that, in a situation that seemed reasonable at first glance, no disciple of the Penglai Sect would stand up for a cultivator from the Middle Earth who had no relatives or friends in the sect and whose skills were indeed unknown. As for those casual cultivators who had a good relationship with Shi Xuan, they were not qualified to speak at this time!
Ming Qingyue raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward to speak for Shi Xuan. Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan also looked anxious, but they were still entangled in those groundless accusations and could not find words to defend themselves. And the inner disciple surnamed Bai also frowned and wanted to speak, but thinking that he was in charge of the Qi Induction Stage cultivators, it was inappropriate to rashly accuse Junior Brother Qin who was in charge of the Out-of-Body Stage cultivators, so he hesitated there.
Meng Yuchang's face showed joy and he felt relieved. Even if there were discussions in the future, the unknown origin of his skills could not be washed away. Although the unknown origin of his master's skills had little to do with whether the disciple could join the Penglai Sect, it was better to have an excuse than no excuse.
