Chapter 6 Heavenly Ghost Sect
Look at the scenery in front of you again. Among the majestic mountains, a staircase stretching for more than ten miles appeared in front of you, reaching the sky and disappearing from the distance between the clouds and mists.
Looking at the sky stairs in front of him, Xu Yang felt mixed emotions. The fairy path started from his feet, stalking up the steps, and climbing up the steps. I don’t know how long he had walked, and finally arrived at the end of the ladder. In front of him was a huge archway carved from white marble. The archway was supported by two huge round stone pillars on the left and right, with huge Tenglong patterns carved on the stone pillars, which were majestic.
Looking up, there were dozens of heavenly ghosts of different sizes carved at the crown of the archway, and there were plaques in the middle. The plaque was engraved with three large characters "Tiangui Sect".
Behind the archway is a layer of colorful light curtain, and neither spiritual consciousness nor vision can be explored. Xu Yang took out a round jade plaque given by Tu Sanli before leaving, and according to the secret method taught by Tu Sanli, a white light shot out from the jade plaque and disappeared into the light curtain.
The next moment, a gap was opened after the light curtain flashed. Xu Yang took back the jade plaque and walked straight into the light curtain. The gap in the light curtain was automatically closed, as intact as before.
Xu Yang, who entered the Tiangui Sect, looked at the scenery in front of him with a look of surprise. A five-story hall was built in the distance against the mountain. The buildings around the hall were lined up one after another, forming a large area that could not be seen. Its momentum was much more magnificent than the county town in Xu Yang's hometown that he had seen.
At the foot was a huge square, with the ground paved with large pieces of bluestone bricks, spotless. Several well-dressed disciples of the Tiangui Sect were patrolling the square. Seeing Xu Yang coming, one of them stepped forward and asked, "That disciple of the branch."
"I'm the new disciple named Xu Yang." As he said that, Xu Yang took out a black token given by Tu Sanli and handed it over with both hands.
The word "Wind" was engraved on the front of the token, and a black eagle on the back of the token. The guard took the token and looked at it, saying, "It turned out to be a new disciple recommended by Fengguitang. Go to the disciple recruitment office there to sign up." After saying that, he pointed to a two-story exquisite building in the distance with his hand.
According to Tu Sanli's plan, Xu Yang first wanted to participate in the baptism ceremony of the introductory disciple of the Tiangui Sect. In the past few days, the side effects of Xu Yang's practice of the Nether Fire Art have begun to appear, and blood marks began to appear on the blood vessels on his wrist, accompanied by redness and swelling.
In the admissions office, new disciples who entered the sect came to sign up one after another. After signing up, Xu Yang was told to attend the introductory ceremony of the new disciples of Tiangui Sect five days later.
Five days later, at the third hour of Yin, in the Tiangui Palace Square.
There were more than a hundred disciples of the Tiangui Sect who came to participate in the formal introductory ceremony, and Xu Yang was among them. As the largest sect of ghost paths in the Zhongyuan Continent, if you want to become a disciple of the Tiangui Sect, you must be recommended by the various branches of the Tiangui Sect. Therefore, most of the disciples are cultivation families with close contact with the Tiangui Sect, and there are very few mortal children like Xu Yang.
The recommendation order of the new disciple is also extremely precious. Tu Sanli's recommendation order is also a reward received after performing sect missions in Fengguitang.
In front of the Heavenly Ghost Palace.
Every two meters away on both sides of His Royal Highness's square, there is a ghost of different shapes and carved from black stone. Each of these stone-carved ghosts is more than two meters high, either squatting, standing, or leaping. Each face is ferocious, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.
The Tiangui Hall is built on a platform more than two meters high, with railings made of white marble on both sides. Looking up, the main hall gate is more than three meters high, and three golden characters "Tiangui Hall" are engraved on the door plaque.
A pair of huge couplets hung from left and right at the gate, with golden fonts engraved on two long black plaques. The left side says: The ghost of heaven is free and easy to travel to Guanghan, and the right side says: The earth immortal is free and unique in the underworld. What’s strange is that these big words are faintly flashing with golden halos, catching the soul and catching the soul, making people dare not look at it for a long time.
There are four flag stations on both sides of the front of the main hall gate. Each flag station is erected with a black rectangular banner embroidered with gold edges. The word ghost is written on each flag, fluttering in the wind. Under the flag are sixteen disciples of the Tiangui Sect, dressed neatly and looked solemn.
As the hour of Mao approached, more than twenty people came out of the moon gate on one side of the square. The old man in charge was tall, with a head full of heavenly crown, his eyes were like lightning under his thick eyebrows, and a black and beautiful beard floated on his chest. He was wearing a dark purple jacquard brocade robe and his steps were full of wind. It was Yu Cheng, the leader of the Tiangui Sect who presided over the ceremony.
A straight and dignified deacon disciple stepped forward and announced loudly: "I would like to invite my sect leader, Mr. Yu Cheng!" Then he retreated respectfully.
Yu Cheng looked at the many disciples who were arranged neatly below the stage and were preparing to participate in the introductory ceremony. His eyes flashed and his heart was surging, as if he saw his young self. While gently stroked the long beard on his chest with his hands, he nodded with satisfaction, and then announced loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and the introductory baptism ceremony for disciples of Tiangui Sect has begun."
"The Heavenly Ghost Sect worships the Heavenly Ghosts and takes the power of the underworld as an opportunity to break through the immortal path. This sect can stand tall in the Zhongyuan Continent and prosper through inheritance and prosperity, which can only continue to this day by the protection of the ancestors of the sect and the continuous joining of new disciples. The next year's entry ceremony will be held, and this sect's holy artifacts are invited."
As Yu Cheng's voice fell, eight burly disciples took neat steps and carried out a large topless sedan chair. There was a one-foot square red sandalwood box in the middle of the sedan chair. The golden runes on the wooden box kept flowing, emitting bursts of light. The sedan chair was carried to the center of the building platform, and the people carrying the sedan chair were neatly backwards.
Yu Cheng bowed respectfully to the wooden box, then gently flipped his right wrist and hit the wooden box. The lid of the wooden box slowly rose and landed on a tray prepared in advance. As the lid of the box opened, a white jade Ruyi appeared.
In an instant, the spiritual energy around the platform rolled and surged with Ruyi as the center, and the wind and clouds changed.
I saw a five-clawed dragon wandering up and down inside Yu Ruyi, which was particularly eye-catching and ready to come out.
"Perform the ceremony of worshiping the rituals of the governor." Yu Cheng gave the order, and everyone knelt down and bowed.
After the ceremony, Yu Cheng said to the four elders beside him: "Please ask the four elders of the Dharma protector to assist me in the opening ceremony of the magic weapon."
Yu Cheng and the four guardian elders behind him stood in front of Yu Ruyi and cast spells together. Five huge and pure magic powers poured into Ruyi like a river or a sea.
With the infusion of magic power, the little black dragon on Yu Ruyi gradually became clear. Immediately afterwards, the little black dragon's body actually broke away from Yu Ruyi.
The mana of Yu Cheng and the five others formed a colorful halo and wrapped the dragon around, slowly falling into a huge copper basin containing Qingling water prepared in advance.
The originally clear clear spiritual water in the basin gradually turned into ink color, and black mist overflowed. After a while, the five people cast spells to move the little black dragon out of the water and put it back into Ruyi.
"This 'Guanghan True Dragon Ruyi' is a holy weapon left by the founder of the sect, and is the treasure of the sect's sect. This clear spiritual water is washed by the Guanghan True Dragon, and it is filled with the Netherworld energy. Each disciple below puts a little finger into a copper basin. When the Netherworld spiritual energy fills the little finger, he will immediately take out his fingers. Do not be too greedy to prevent the Netherworld power from retaliating. After being baptized by the Holy Artifact, he can practice the Heavenly Ghost Sect's martial arts." A deacon loudly told the introductory disciple below.
After obeying the order, many new disciples walked one after another under the leadership of the deacon, went up from one side of the steps, put their little fingers into the copper basin, and then returned to the square from the other side of the building platform.
Xu Yang walked to the copper basin and put his little finger in the copper basin. As soon as his finger entered the basin, he felt a cold and cold air climbing up along his little finger, and instantly his little finger turned black. The whole little finger hurt slightly, and a trace of cool aura in the center of his little finger entered the veins in his body. After the whole little finger turned black, Xu Yang took his finger back and returned to the team.
After all the disciples returned to the square one after another, the clear water in the copper basin became clear as usual.
"The entry ceremony is over, and you will officially become a disciple of the Tiangui Sect from today. You must remember the ancestral teachings and practice hard to carry forward the Tiangui Sect." With Yu Cheng's clear voice, the entry ceremony came to an end.
After the ceremony, each of the new disciples issued an identity waist card and a pill called "Braining Pill". After returning to his room, Xu Yang took the Braining Pill. With the effect of the medicine, the originally dark little finger gradually became lighter.
After a night of rest, the black on Xu Yang's little finger had disappeared. Xu Yang stretched out and felt that he seemed to have grown one inch higher overnight, his muscles became much stronger. The red marks on his arm that were practicing the Nether Fire Art disappeared, and he felt that he was full of strength.
The smoothness of the Nether Fire Art is about twice as fast as before. It seems that the power of the Netherworld is very effective in transforming the body, making it suitable for practicing ghost skills.
The next morning, a group of new disciples were gathered together and led by the sect's predecessors to study. The new disciples are the place where new disciples learn, and conduct the most basic introductory teaching for three days.
Every morning, the elders who are specially taught in the sect explain the basic knowledge of cultivation for an hour. In the afternoon, the disciples practice on their own. Three days later, after testing the disciple's spiritual veins, they are assigned to different branches according to the characteristics of each disciple's spiritual vein for formal practice.
Xu Yang has a fire-attributed spiritual vein, and his qualifications are too ordinary, but his control of spiritual power is very delicate. He was assigned to the branch of Tiangui Sect, Mu Ling Academy, for practice.
Mu Ling Academy is a branch of the Tiangui Sect where heaven and earth spiritual materials are planted. There are countless strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, mainly providing alchemy and pharmaceutical materials for alchemists in the sect.
Mu Lingyuan is located in a valley dozens of miles away from the Heavenly Ghost Sect Master Hall. A huge wooden building complex is built along the mountain. The wood attribute spiritual power within a radius of ten miles is extremely strong. When you walk into Mu Lingyuan, the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees makes people feel refreshed.
In the main hall of Mulingyuan.
More than a dozen new disciples, including Xu Yang, stood respectfully in His Highness.
A plump and beautiful woman in a light purple long gown sat in the middle of the hall. Her eyes swept to His Highness and said, "I, Xiao Yue'e, as the master of the Mu Ling Academy, welcomes you to join the Mu Ling Academy for practice on behalf of the Mu Ling Academy and all the disciples. From today on, you will be the outer disciples of the Mu Ling Academy. I hope you will work hard to practice in the future and become the inner disciples as soon as possible..."
"Okay, you guys go down first. I will send someone to arrange a residence for you. You can rest for a day first, and you will be assigned specific practice tasks tomorrow." Xiao Zhangyuan said.
After receiving the exclusive token of Mu Lingyuan, Xu Yang was arranged to live in a wing room.
The next morning, Xu Yang received a task assigned by Mu Ling Academy to take care of the medicine garden. Since he was a newcomer, he was still in the learning stage. Xu Yang only had simple tasks such as care and weeding and insect removal. The selection, fertilization and picking of spiritual herbs in the medicine garden were completed by skilled old disciples.
The task of taking care of the medicine garden can allow Xu Yang to receive a small amount of corresponding spirit stones from the sect as a reward. If the task is completed well, the reward of spirit stones will be slightly more.
