As soon as Yuan Ming stepped onto the magic circle in front of the statue of Master Shura, the statue's eyes shot out two rays of red light that seemed to be substantial, sweeping over him.
Yuan Ming was shocked at first. He quickly looked inside his body and found that there was nothing strange about his body. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Master Shura's voice came from the statue:
"When I was young, I became a disciple of the Chaotian Sect. I thought that the sect was so powerful that I would have no worries about my future path to immortality. However, I didn't expect that once a sudden change occurred, the thousand-year-old sect would be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Woohoo! At that time, when I first set foot on the foundation, I was unable to hold back the generals of the building.
I can only watch my brother die in front of me. This is a great regret in my life. If you can overturn the ending in three opportunities and defeat me, you can get the treasure I left behind."
Yuan Ming disappeared instantly as soon as his voice fell into the magic circle.
Everyone was startled at first, and then immediately looked at the talisman in Fairy Jin Xi's hand. However, in the next moment, a blue flame suddenly ignited on the talisman, and it burned the talisman to ashes in just a moment.
…
As soon as Master Shura finished speaking, before Yuan Ming could react, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes. After a while, the world began to spin, and he found that he had appeared in a small wing. Although the clothes on his body had not changed, he was full of magic power.
But it was suppressed to the level of the early stage of foundation building.
"Could this be the Chaotian Sect where Master Shura lived back then?"
As soon as he thought about this, he tried to use his magic power to break through the limitations of his cultivation. But at this moment, he felt a heart palpitation for no reason. It was not until he gave up the idea that the heart palpitations gradually disappeared.
This restriction seems to have also acted on his soul. Whenever the consciousness he releases exceeds the scope of the foundation building period, it will also cause heart palpitations.
Yuan Ming didn't know whether his behavior here would be seen by Wan Qihong and others, so he did not try to use soul cultivation methods, but judging from what happened before, the restrictions should be the same.
That is to say, you cannot use any cultivation ability that Master Shura of this period does not have.
After Yuan Ming tentatively deduced this conclusion, he calmed down and began to observe the situation in the room where he was.
This wing is not big, but the decoration inside is extremely simple and elegant, which is quite similar to his previous residence in the capital.
There are many calligraphy and paintings in the house, all of which are excellent works from Yuan Ming's point of view, and they are all signed by a person named "Zhen Luo".
In addition to calligraphy and paintings, there is also a storage bag placed in the side room. In addition to spiritual stones and some regular practice books, there are only a few not-so-exquisite magic weapons. Among them, only one ink-colored flying knife is top-grade, and the rest are
It's below average quality.
Yuan Ming took out the magic weapon and got familiar with it briefly.
Although he could not perform soul cultivation techniques now, his soul strength was still at the level of a love witch. He quickly mastered the control of high-grade magic weapons like an arm and a finger, and after practicing some more, he put the magic tools away.
Then, Yuan Ming looked through the books in the storage bag. To his surprise, all the books related to the exercises were completely blank, as if they deliberately did not want others to see them.
Obviously, the time and space he is currently in should have been created by Master Shura through some kind of great supernatural power, and the rules were naturally set by him. It is not that he has actually traveled to that past.
However, apart from the parts other than the exercises, the book is very detailed, especially the content about his current identity, which seems to have been specially marked and explained.
As Yuan Ming expected, he was indeed in the "Chaotian Sect" at this time. There was an ancestor in the middle stage of Yuanying in the sect. It was the largest sect in the Zhao Kingdom and was famous far and wide.
There are a total of twenty-one peaks in the sect, and each peak has a peak master in the alchemy stage. They usually ignore secular affairs and are only responsible for cultivating and teaching their respective disciples.
The monks in the foundation building stage and Qi refining stage further down are divided into three categories: personal disciples, registered disciples and secular disciples.
The first two are all under the sect of the Master of the Peak. Apart from the tasks given by the Master of the Peak, they do not need to manage any mundane affairs. The difference between the two lies only in the number of times they can see the Peak Master and the number of times they can see the Peak Master.
How much is the monthly salary?
The secular disciples are mainly responsible for handling various chores of the sect. Among them, those who perform well can be promoted to registered disciples after completing a certain number of years and showing acceptable cultivation talents, and can focus on cultivation from then on.
Among secular disciples, because the sect is divided into halls such as the Alchemy Hall and the Weapon Refining Hall, there are also hall masters and deacons.
Master Shura, played by Yuan Ming now, is a direct disciple of Lingxing Peak. The master of this peak is a pill-forming monk named "Shen Lingyun". Since he has just entered pill-forming,
Lingxing Peak was created from scratch, so there was only one direct disciple of Master Shura on the entire peak.
"Junior Brother Zhen, get up, get up! This year's ceremony will have many sects coming to watch the ceremony. The Deacon Hall has issued a lot of reception tasks. Not only are the rewards generous, but the requirements are not high. I have specially reserved two things for you.
Come out quickly and get it."
Suddenly there was a roar outside the house. Yuan Ming groaned for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the door.
In front of the door, a fat man with a stout body like a ball was happily waving the jade slip in his hand.
Yuan Ming looked at him, and suddenly Master Shura's voice came to his ears, explaining the fat man's name and identity.
"Shen Peng, who has cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, studied under Changle Peak, and has always been on good terms with me."
When Shen Peng saw Yuan Ming coming out, he immediately handed over the jade slip in his hand with a smile, and said: "Here, junior brother, these two tasks are specially selected by me, and the receptionists are all big sects. If they are done well,
It would be a big deal to have a relationship with those talented people."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen, for taking the trouble. It's just that I haven't participated in a few grand ceremonies. I'm responsible for receiving large sects. I'm afraid I'm not capable enough. It would be bad if I messed up the matter." Yuan Ming shook his head and politely rejected Shen Peng's proposal.
.
"Hey, look what you said! The sect establishment ceremony is held every hundred years. Except for those who have been in trouble for a long time to build the foundation, none of us are participating for the first time. Moreover, the reception task is to show the way for other sects.
Communicate with them about the history of our sect. You love reading ancient books, so this task is not difficult for you at all." Shen Peng waved his big, fat hand and said.
"I appreciate Senior Brother Shen's kindness, but there have been some problems in my cultivation recently, and I am really upset. I always feel that something big is going to happen, and I really can't bear such a big responsibility." Yuan Ming still refused.
"You kid is just bored in the house every day, so you always think about these things. You said how long we have known each other, but I have never seen you smile or have a sad face all day long, you fairy The practice is too boring." Seeing that Yuan Ming was not very interested, Shen Peng couldn't help but said.
Yuan Ming wanted to ask him about Master Shura's youth, but he was afraid that if he spilled the beans and aroused suspicion, he could only respond silently.
"Then take care of yourself and remember to drink more hot water." Seeing this, Shen Peng lost interest in continuing to chat with Yuan Ming. After a few brief chats, Shen Peng left.
Yuan Ming watched Shen Peng's retreating figure, but in his heart he was thinking about what Master Shura said when he stepped into the magic circle.
The time he is currently at should be the eve of the destruction of the Chaotian Sect. On the eve of the destruction of the Biluo Cave, there were signs such as Ulu lurking, recruiting people at dawn, etc., and the Chaotian Sect is a sect with mid-stage Nascent Soul monks in charge. Once the door is destroyed, there will never be any movement in the secret.
Just like the battle at Biluo Cave broke out when a group of disciples were gathering, it is still unknown whether the battle to destroy the Chaotian Sect might have happened during the sect's grand ceremony.
Often the time when it is least likely to happen is when people are most likely to take it lightly.
What role do the sects invited to participate play here, are they enemies or allies?
Yuan Ming was not sure. The information he had obtained now was too little to deduce the whole story. After thinking about it, he finally set his sights on the top of the mountain where his residence was located.
Not long after, in Shen Lingyun's cave, Yuan Ming stood in front of Shen Lingyun who had just finished practicing, raised his hands and said:
"Master, my disciple has been restless recently, always feeling that something big is going to happen. Last night, the disciple woke up in the middle of the night, but he dreamed that when the sect establishment ceremony was being held, a powerful enemy suddenly fell from the sky and disrupted the ceremony. The brothers fought desperately, and although they repelled the powerful enemy, they suffered heavy casualties. I thought it was just a nightmare, but when I was practicing today, the dream scenes repeatedly appeared in front of me. The disciples were really uneasy, so they came to report to the master."
"I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night. You dreamed that the sect was destroyed. Could it be that you saw something wrong during the day?" Shen Lingyun did not take the disciple's words as a joke, but thought about it seriously.
"So, this disciple really feels that something is not right with some fellow disciples in the sect. If I really want to say something, I can't tell you exactly." Yuan Ming looked distressed.
"In that case, you take my token to the Changle Peak Deacon Hall and say that under my order, you want to check the recent travel records of all disciples. You can find out the ones you think are suspicious and bring them back." Shen Lingyun said, turning his palm and taking out a token.
Yuan Ming was pleasantly surprised to see Shen Lingyun so cheerful, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Master, with all due respect, aren't you afraid that this is really just a nightmare for your disciple?" he asked cautiously.
"There is nothing wrong with you. What's more, we are only investigating now and there is no prosecution. Even if the investigation turns out to be in vain, nothing will be lost. Besides, I know your temper. When I took you out of Zhen's house, I I just said that you will be my only successor and my most trusted disciple." Shen Lingyun said with a smile.
Yuan Ming was deeply moved when he saw the kind and sincere smile on Shen Lingyun's face, and immediately bowed to Shen Lingyun solemnly: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will do his best to ensure that the sect's grand ceremony goes smoothly and worry-free.
"
"Then I'll wait and see." Shen Lingyun nodded, his eyes full of expectation.
