Chapter 30 Entering the Sect (3)
The clouds and smoke in the sky hang down in the sky, the mountain wind blows, and the smoke gathers or disperses. The layers of clouds are like catkins, and the blue sky is flying and falling. Sometimes they gather like waterfalls and swoop down from a thousand feet high.
Jing Hua and several other disciples took a flying boat together, left Fangyuan Peak, and headed to Wendao Peak.
The "Nine Peaks of Yishen" are connected to each other and are located in the center of Kunlun. Looking up on the flying boat, you can see mountains and sea of clouds, and it is difficult to distinguish the differences between the nine peaks.
There is a master of the God who is in charge on the "Crossing the Sky Boat". He looks like a middle-aged scholar, with a casual tone and no airs.
The selected disciples are new to the time and dare not talk to them. There are no obstacles among disciples of the same level. Jing Hua chatted with everyone for a few words to understand each other's situation.
This time, there are 76 disciples selected, most of whom are spirit gathering disciples. There are four foundation-building monks, two men and two women. One of them is marked as "Xin Shijiu", which is a casual cultivator who entered Kunlun with Jing Hua, named Lan Xinyun.
Among the four foundation-building monks, three of them were occupied by the scattered cultivators, and the remaining one was from the Yanzhou family.
"arrive......"
The middle-aged scholar spoke out to remind him. The disciples were startled and subconsciously looked at them. The flying boat slowly descended, and the surging air currents gathered in the mist between the mountains and sang against the sea of clouds below.
The white clouds instantly dissipated, and the flying catkins were like snow in the sky, changing unchanged. The morning light shone out from the clouds, scattering between the flying catkins and mists, reflecting the dazzling light. The magnificent mist and clouds seemed to exist and were vaguely blocking everyone.
"boom......"
The "Crossing the Sky Boat" slowly fell. The mountain protection array opened, dispelling the mist of the deep ravine, and opening up a brand new world.
The floating peaks rise and fall one after another, and the cableway and rainbow bridge are connected. The sea of clouds floats below, white cranes dance on top, and there are strange flowers and trees, flowers, birds, insects and beasts playing in the mountains.
At first glance, "Inquiry Peak" seems to be very similar to "Fangyuan Peak", but along the way, the differences are everywhere.
The pavilions and towers of the "Fangyuan Peak" are connected vertically and horizontally, with regular layouts, like a courtyard that has been planned countless times. During this period, the disciples are orderly in their behavior, advance and retreat in a proper manner, and every move is in a square and round way.
"Ask the Dao Peak" is much more comfortable. Although there are no shortage of pavilions, towers, but there are countless thatched cottages and ponds and bamboo houses in the middle.
On the stone steps in front of the platform, the lawn by the pond, and the roof of thatched cottages, monks can be seen holding scriptures everywhere, closing their eyes to meditate or whispering. Occasionally, the air in the air fluctuates, and the light is overflowing. Some people demonstrate spells and control magic tools.
The disciples of "Inquiry Peak" seem to be loose and disorderly, and they are unrestrained, but most people have a peaceful and peaceful face, and seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the world.
The foundation-building and the spirit-gathering disciples were quickly separated. Jing Hua and four others followed the middle-aged scholars to a huge courtyard. They could see dozens of monks of the same school. They either carried buckets or carried stones, and they mostly did "court labor".
Jing Hua and others were slightly surprised. They entered the mountain gate and were inconvenient to ask more questions. They followed the middle-aged scholar through the corridor and went straight into the main hall.
Soon a senior brother brought four packages and placed them in the hall. Jing Hua and others were in tune with each other and stood in a row consciously, waiting for the guidance of their seniors and teachers.
The middle-aged scholar walked into the main hall. At this moment, he changed into a white long gown and did not wear a blue-gray sect robe. The middle-aged scholar took his hand and four packages floated up in the air and flew to Jing Hua and others.
"Hahaha, it's the first lesson in the beginning... This sect's rules represent the sect. You must wear a Taoist robe and register for yourself. You can do it yourself during the rest of the time, without the same..."
"The first lesson in the beginning" is not just a stern reading of the rules. Jing Hua and others breathed a sigh of relief and took the packages.
The middle-aged scribe pointed to the door and continued, "......Follow Han Jinbao to the 'Li Zong Academy' later. He will take you to choose a cave and arrange for subsequent practice. Before you become a disciple, you must pass his level first..."
There was a short and strong martial artist standing at the door, with a fat face and a smile. He had greeted the four of them before, and his attitude was very kind. Jing Hua and others were nervous, not expecting that an inconspicuous foundation-building martial artist would be the person in charge of the new disciples.
When Han Jinbao saw the elder pointing at him, he bowed slightly.
"Master Le, some junior brothers..."
"Elder Le" nodded and said, "Well, I am Lehe, now the elder of the 'Li Zongyuan'. Since you have entered the 'Ask the Way' lineage, you should have some understanding of this peak..."
"... Although the 'Yishing Nine Peaks' belongs to the same sect, the rules and habits between each peak are different, and the professors and disciples are very different. For many years, the 'Inquiry' lineage has been taught from generation to generation. Elder Jiedan guided the disciples to gather spirits, and the foundation-building generation was taught by the Master Huashen..."
Jing Hua and others were all happy. The benefits of doing this are obvious. The elders and the superiors are in a transcendent state, and they are very capable when giving guidance. However, the higher the level, the fewer the number of cultivators. In this way, would an elder, the superiors be responsible for dozens and hundreds of disciples?
Lehe ignored the thoughts of his disciples and said to himself: "...... Therefore, the entrance to this peak is to pay attention to the 'Master'. Only when the cultivation level is successful can the Tao be given. The disciples of the same generation are sorted in order to get the entry, and they must not mess with each other's etiquette..."
"......The Lizong Academy will issue spirit stones every month, but within this sect, it is rarely traded. The 'Geju Academy', 'Changsheng Academy', and 'Antao Academy' have many magical instruments, elixirs, and skills. If you want to get it, you must exchange them with the 'Badao Card'. The slogan has been seen before. The number you gained in the competition is a gift when you entered the sect..."
Jing Hua suddenly realized his mind. No wonder Xiahou Jie, the "Three Ghosts of Sanghe" clearly gathered all the "Badao signs" and were still plundering them desperately. Xiahou Jie was even more angry and was surrounded and intercepted by "Bingba". The "Three Ghosts of Sanghe" were even more miserable, and he directly gave himself and Shang Pengshou.
Before coming to the Dao Peak, the selected disciples gathered together and waited for the guidance of each peak. Jing Hua met Shang Peng Shou and Xiahou Jie. They performed well and were not unexpectedly selected.
Shang Pengshou entered the "Fangyuan Peak", while Xiahou Jie was selected by the "Tianze Peak". However, the female cultivator "Bingba" was also included in the list. When she saw Jing, Shang and others were not panicked. They even talked for a few words, and were then picked up by the "Zhishan Peak".
"......There are many ways to obtain the 'dao card'. The 'dao Academy' does not have access controls, and any disciple can enter. However, when a low-level disciple comes, apart from consolidating the foundation of the Tao, the most important thing is to find a suitable 'master'. The 'question' lineage is different from other numerical lines. The 'master' does not select disciples, nor does it set up a threshold for assessment. The disciples choose the teacher and commander by themselves..."
Jing Hua and others were shocked again. Jing Hua was fine. In the university in his previous life, he had a "self-selected course" to base his foundation, and he could barely understand "self-selected teachers and commanders".
"Select yourself" means being responsible for your own behavior. If you want to gain attention from your teacher after making a choice, you have to rely on down-to-earth efforts. The remaining three "newcomers" are all "indigenous" and "disciples choose teachers" are unheard of, and they all opened their mouths wide.
Lehe was used to seeing the surprise of his new disciples and did not care at all.
"......... 'Ask the Taoist Court' every tenth time, there must be elders, and the head court will be in charge. If you are just a first-time visit, don't rush to choose a teacher. After listening to the lecture for more than two years, you will compare them to find elder monks who are in line with the spleen, stomach and philosophy. This choice is crucial and has a great impact on your future practice. Remember, remember..."
