Chapter 78 Getting Started
Seeing the outer disciples looking at him eagerly, Bai Qi smiled slightly and said: "The sect recruits outer disciples once every ten years, and each time there are no more than a hundred people. Therefore, the twenty peaks among the twenty-eight small peaks are used for living. It’s empty, that’s what happened at Xuri and Xinyue Peak where you lived this time.”
There are about forty male monks and about thirty female monks here. At first, everyone was worried that the accommodation would be poor and crowded, but when they heard that there were only thirty or forty people living on a mountain peak, they began to worry about whether it would be too deserted. .
In Bai Qi's introduction, the cloud boat shuttled through the floating white clouds and the soaring cranes, and soon arrived at a mountain peak three to four hundred feet high. It was said to be a small peak, but it was actually quite high.
The peaks are tall and beautiful, lined with green trees, and you can also see the medicinal fields that have been opened up. Bai Qi smiled and introduced: "This is Xinyue Peak. There are hundreds of palaces and caves on it. But you have to wait for the entrance ceremony before you can go to the General Affairs Hall to choose. Now you can live in those caves on the mountainside. "
After putting the female monk down, he saw the deacon in charge of general affairs from Xinyue Peak coming over to make arrangements. Bai Qi drove Chuanyunzhou to another mountain peak not far away. This mountain peak was dozens of feet higher than Xinyue Peak. The mountain is even more steep, it is Xuri Peak.
When Shi Xuan got off the Chuanyunzhou, he saw the deacon in charge of general affairs arranging handymen to take the disciples to their respective caves. He was very tired today, and the new disciples did not bother to chat and hurried back to their rooms to rest. .
Shi Xuan previously thought that it was too deserted for thirty or forty people to live on a mountain peak, but when he actually moved in, he realized that was not the case. Not to mention the one deacon and two deputy deacons who were in charge of general affairs, there were hundreds of maids and maids alone, uh, They cannot all be called human beings. Many of them are mountain spirits and flower monsters, and they are all very simple and simple, waiting for orders. There are also cooks, gardeners, farmers, etc.
Those who were assigned to Shixuan Cave were two servants and two maids. The three of them and one flower were all smart masters. The flower was a big rose, but it could speak human words and was no better at cleaning than humans. It's only half as good as a handyman maid, her long branches are very flexible.
Shi Xuan insisted on finishing his evening classes and then fell asleep to regain his energy.
………
The main peak of Penglai Island, Tianshu Peak, which is more than 2,000 feet high, is wrapped in thick clouds and mist. From time to time, you can see through them the simple, elegant, majestic, or unearthly buildings on the peak. Among them are fairy birds. Auspicious beasts roamed in twos and threes, and from time to time, immortals riding clouds of various colors and various magic weapons landed on the mountain.
In the Jietian Hall at the top of Tianshu Peak, there are more than ten monks standing or sitting in the broad and ancient hall.
"Why did you rashly change the sect's rules? Who gave you Mo Yuan this right?!" An old monk with white hair and white eyebrows wearing a red fire-colored robe said angrily in the middle of the hall. There were several vivid fire dragons on his robe.
The cold-faced Lei Lord Mo Yuan sat expressionlessly on the futon next to him. Hearing the old monk's accusation, he responded calmly: "I don't remember any of the sect's precepts that prohibit changing the method of the ceremony."
"You..." The old monk didn't know how to respond.
Another middle-aged, thin Taoist priest stood up and said with a gloomy face: "There is no such thing, but why did you change the method of the ceremony without informing us elders? There must be something wrong in doing it in private!"
"What does it have to do with you?" Mo Yuan glanced at the two elders coldly and expressed his meaning briefly.
Mo Yuan's meaning is very clear in front of these familiar people. Are you the host of the Dharma conference or am I the host of the Dharma conference? Or are you the leader?
Immediately, several more monks stood up, and together with the two elders in front, they said to the old monk with long white eyebrows and purple ribbon robes who was sitting directly in front: "Please punish Mo Yuan for his rude words."
The leader touched his white eyebrows and said helplessly: "Master Nephew Mo has informed the old Taoist, and the old Taoist thought it was a good idea and agreed."
"Master, the sect's rules cannot be changed!"
"Master, you can't listen to Mo Yuan's words on this matter!"
…………
Several monks expressed their opinions one after another.
"Hey." Someone sneered, and several monks in the middle of the hall took a look. It was a young monk sitting opposite Mo Yuan. He was tall and tall, and his back was straight even when he was sitting on a futon. , like a sword that will be unsheathed at any time.
Several monks secretly screamed inwardly, because this guy was famous for being outspoken, merciless, and a typical example of saying anything. Just like his fighting style, he was never subtle, straightforward, and extremely sharp.
The young monk raised his handsome eyebrows, stood up and said, "Are the elders turning a blind eye to all the ugly behaviors shown by the children in the family when they were tested in their character in the Bamboo House? Are you doing it for the good of the sect? Or are you just doing it for the family? "
Sure enough, this fool just flipped the things under the table to the table to talk about it. Several monks looked at each other and were about to argue a few words. The young monk took a step forward and asked loudly: "I just want to ask, do those disciples' xinxing meet the requirements? Is this method of Junior Brother Mo better than before? Is it necessary for Junior Brother Mo to inform you? Which commandment of the sect stipulates that it must be done? Did I inform you? I, the head of the Zhanglu Hall, really don’t know!”
"Yongxiang! You!" The thin middle-aged monk pointed at the young monk, his fingers trembling slightly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Yong Xiang shook his head and said: "Third uncle, you'd better go back. There's no point in talking about this matter."
The middle-aged and thin monk was shaking with anger. He was only held back by several monks behind him to prevent him from going into a rage. The monks knew that the matter was hopeless, and the leader's attitude was very clear. He had no choice but to give up. Anyway, he would not be beaten next time. If you are fooled by little tricks, you will be prepared. Ten years is just a short period of time for monks at their level.
Several monks said goodbye to the head master and left the hall chatting together. They deliberately did not suppress their voices and faintly conveyed some words into the hall, such as "Is Yongxiang a descendant of the family?!" "What is the point of your Yong family? Sorry for him?"
Yongxiang sat down again without being affected at all. At this time, except for the master, there were only four monks left in the hall. Yongxiang himself, Mo Yuan, a beautiful woman wearing a black lady's uniform, and a woman wearing a seven-star dress. A middle-aged ordinary monk in Taoist robes.
After hearing those words, this beautiful woman was overjoyed. She bent down while sitting on the futon, and kept beating the ground beside her with her hands. She laughed and said, "Haha, are you from the Yong family?!" Junior Brother, why don't you follow Senior Sister? My surname is Yu De." This woman is Yu Jiaolong Yu Linglong.
Yong Xiang glanced at Yu Linglong: "Those family elders are so insidious, short-sighted, and do not know how to plan. They will compete for any small profits. It seems that if enough elixirs, elixirs, and spiritual stones are enough, they can cultivate high-grade golden elixirs. He doesn’t train his family members at all, and even dotes on and protects them.”
After a pause, he continued: "Our cultivating family does not rely on large numbers of people, so we cannot produce a high-grade golden elixir master. No matter how many disciples you have, they are in the divine soul stage, the qi-entraining stage, or even the low-grade golden elixir. So what?" Knowing that a gentleman is worthy of being killed in five lifetimes, even if we live long enough, it is only a matter of a few more lifetimes. Only cultivating outstanding family children is where the family inheritance lies, rather than competing for resources. Pass this abnormal emotion on to the children of the family.”
Yu Linglong nodded and said: "They say that Junior Brother Yong, you are, haha, a barbarian." She couldn't help it, she beat the ground again and laughed wildly, and stopped after a while, "But who knew you could speak so insightfully about the history of the three schools? Our Yu family, which is the oldest, is only over 1,800 years old. Compared with the nearly 20,000 years of inheritance of the sect, it is really a waste of time. Those big families that were more than 10,000 years ago were not continuing for several generations. After no top-grade Golden elixir master was produced, it slowly declined and disappeared into the history of the sect.”
Yong Xiang sighed: "The Penglai sect is a strong family, but the peaks and veins passed down by master and apprentice last longer. It's a pity that the family elders can't see it."
Yu Linglong also sighed: "If you hadn't stood up just now, I would have been angry at them."
"Just get angry. Those guys will definitely leave without saying a word when they see you, a female tyrannosaurus, getting angry." Yong Xiang said calmly.
Yu Linglong stood up immediately, furious: "Yong Xiang, please tell me clearly, who is the female tyrannosaurus?!"
"You dare to say that you are not? Don't think that wearing ladies' clothes means you are a lady!"
"Sure enough, calling you a barbarian is flattering you! You are just a fool!"
…………
Mo Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing. The ordinary monk in the seven-star robe looked at the two of them helplessly. If there was any sign of a fight, he would immediately stop it. He looked at the leader again and found that the leader also had his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or practicing. stand up.
The two were relatively restrained this time and did not start a fight. When the two were tired of arguing, the leader's faint voice came: "Linglong, you will be the one to host the ceremony in ten years."
Yu Linglong scratched her hair and said distressedly: "I have to think of a good way, so I can't lose to Junior Brother Mo."
The headmaster paused for a moment and then spoke to Yongxiang: "Yongxiang, any disciple who acts as a cover-up in this Dharma assembly will be severely punished."
Yongxiang cupped his fists and saluted: "I will obey the master's decree."
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Xuan finished practicing early and took the cloud boat to Tianshu Peak, the head of the peaks. This is the residence of the leader, the Tianya Haijiao Tower where the exercises are stored, and the palace where great ceremonies are held. On a mountain peak.
The top of Tianshu Peak is very big. Without telling anyone, no one would be able to tell that this is the peak. Some kind of magic must have been used to transform the terrain here, forming a flat land with a radius of dozens of miles, and then built on it. Several majestic halls and courtyards were built.
Shi Xuan and others were introduced to the quaint main hall located in the middle, with "Jietian Hall" written in seal script on it. The main hall was very spacious, and with the elders, inner disciples, and outer disciples who had entered the ceremony before, there were hundreds of people standing sparsely.
At the front of the hall, stands a tall jade statue of an elegant old Taoist with white eyebrows and white eyebrows, wearing a seven-star crown and a Tai Chi Taoist robe. people.
On both sides of him stood a dozen monks with different demeanor, among whom was the cold-faced Lei Lord Mo Yuan that Shi Xuan had seen before.
An ordinary middle-aged monk wearing a seven-star robe stood up and shouted loudly: "All new disciples of the outer sect, please kneel down and bow to the founder of the sect, Song Patriarch."
