I saw that where the platform landed, there was a green grassland. Not far from the grassland, there was a sparse forest, inside which could be vaguely seen a series of neatly arranged stone houses.
Liu Ming glanced at the stone house for a few times, then glanced at the other side of the grass.
They saw another platform dozens of feet away from them, and many boys and girls came out of it.
"Go down, you want to stay here as long as you want." An impatient voice came from behind Liu Ming. Looking back, it was the man in soap clothes who urged with a stern expression.
At this time, nine out of ten people on the platform had already left, and he was the only one standing still, which was indeed a bit eye-catching.
Liu Ming bowed his head slightly and apologized, then followed the crowd in front and walked down. At this time, he raised his head and took a look at the giant peak not far away.
This mountain peak is extremely high. The lower half is densely manicured with buildings of different types. A thick mountain road is like a coiled python, winding and twisting directly to the top of the mountain.
The upper half of the mountain peak goes straight into the clouds and is obscured by white clouds, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
There are also groups of gray clouds rushing down from the upper half of the mountain. Most of them are sitting on one or several people in different costumes, old and young, male and female, but they are flying quite high and cannot be seen clearly.
their faces.
These people were obviously the same Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples as the men in soap. When they passed over the grassland, some people looked down curiously, while some people just drove past the clouds from high in the sky without even looking at them.
The boys and girls below all started talking excitedly.
Some people even can't help but fantasize about their fairy-like life after becoming a spiritual disciple.
At this time, the man in soap clothes also walked out of the stone platform. Seeing the mess of everyone below, he gave an unceremonious instruction:
"This is the Barbarian Ghost Sect, not your own home. Everyone, shut up, line up and follow us."
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, he strode towards a path leading to the stone houses. After a period of confusion, hundreds of boys and girls reluctantly followed him in several lines.
On the stone platform on the other side, a woman wearing a white hat flew out on a cloud, and also led another group of boys and girls into the woods along another path.
After a while, the two teams met at an intersection in the woods.
With almost no instructions from anyone, the two teams merged together very naturally, and soon walked out of the woods and came to an open space in front of rows of stone houses.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen men and women wearing uniform green clothes standing there waiting respectfully.
"Junior Sister Xun and I have already arrived. Please arrange for them to be separated. It will take half a month for the Leaving Spirit Ceremony to be held. During this period, they can wander around Cuipingpo, but they must not really leave the area.
, Violators will be immediately disqualified from participating in the spiritual opening ceremony." The man in soap clothes looked at the dozen men and women and ordered coldly.
"Yes! Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Xun, don't worry, we will definitely handle things safely." One of the men, a fierce-looking man, took a step forward and replied respectfully.
"Well, I'm quite relieved that Junior Brother Fang Xiong is doing things. Then Junior Sister and I will go to the Deacon Hall to give orders." The man in soap clothes nodded and said with a slightly calm expression.
Then he and the woman in the white cloak muttered a secret formula, and each of them raised a gray cloud under their feet, trembled, and flew up the mountain.
"Okay, you little guys have also heard it. You will stay here temporarily for half a month. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the woods. If I find anyone disobedient and runs out without authorization, the first time
He was punished with ten lashes of a python whip, and the second time was thirty, and the third time he was immediately disqualified from opening the spirit." The big man who called Fang Xiong waited for the man in soap clothes to leave, and immediately straightened his bowed body and rushed
The hundreds of boys and girls present said unceremoniously.
"What, didn't the envoy just say that you can wander around nearby? Why can't you leave the woods? And we are here to participate in the spiritual opening ceremony, not to go to jail." Upon hearing this, some people immediately became dissatisfied.
started shouting.
"Boy, what did you say!"
The big man's face darkened, and he grabbed the void in front of him with one hand. Immediately, a seemingly strong young man at the front was suddenly pulled out of the crowd by an invisible force, and several of them were pulled out of the crowd and faced to the front.
The one who fell down was bruised and his face was swollen.
When the young man stood up again, a half-foot-long dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He looked at the big man opposite him with blazing eyes, but he knew that his strength was far different from that of the other man, so he did not dare to attack him again.
"To tell you the truth, we, like you, were disciples who participated in the spiritual opening ceremony more than ten years ago, but we didn't succeed so we stayed here to do hard labor. Don't look at it now that there are seven or eight hundred people, but in fact
The number of ten people who can become spiritual disciples is considered good. Moreover, during the spiritual opening ceremony, at least two-thirds of the people will suffer the backlash and die before the remaining people can become ordinary people like us.
Outer disciples. So, please put your young master’s temper behind me. If you dare to be disobedient, we will not show mercy. And what Senior Brother Zhang said before leaving was just a statement. This Cuiping
The slope area is so vast, how can we really let so many people wander around? We only have so many people in total, so we can take care of them one by one. In addition, those of us with the lowest cultivation level are also high-level Qi refiners.
, I am a top qi refiner, if anyone is not convinced, feel free to come to me for a lesson or two. As long as you can fight more, no matter what you want to do, I will not even say 'no'." Fang
Xiong looked at the group of boys and girls and said with a ferocious look on his face.
After hearing this, all the boys and girls lost their original excitement, and some of the cowardly ones even showed expressions of fear.
The other party turned out to be a top-level Qi-refiner. This made a group of boys and girls who were nothing more than low-level Qi-refiners dare to argue with the other party.
Liu Ming had no expression on his face when he heard the threatening words in front of him, but when he heard the words 'top qi refiner', he was slightly shocked.
This Fang Xiong is only in his thirties, but he can possess such amazing strength. It seems that even if he cannot become a spiritual disciple, as long as he can stay alive in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, he may still obtain the powerful strength he needs.
.
He must pass this spiritual opening ceremony alive.
"Listen now, the rooms will be allocated immediately. Everyone whose name is read will come forward." Fang Xiong shocked the boy and girl in front of him with a look of satisfaction when he saw his few words.
Of course, there are also some people with great backgrounds who still look nonchalant!
But it doesn't matter to the big man.
As long as the majority obeys its control, it will be fine.
They wouldn't really mess with these boys and girls with special status.
After all, regardless of the forces behind them, their chances of passing the spiritual opening ceremony are much higher than others.
At this time, a woman in her thirties had already walked out from among the outer disciples. She turned over her hand and showed a light yellow booklet, and began to call names slowly.
In a short time, hundreds of people came out one by one, and were led by this woman towards the stone houses.
Just like that, every outer disciple named a group of boys and girls and took them away. In a blink of an eye, only the last group, about seventy or eighty people, were left in the field.
Liu Ming, Gao Chong, Mu Mingzhu, Lei Zhen and others were all among them.
"No need to order any more, you all come with me, I will arrange it for you personally." Fang Xiong glanced at the remaining people, waved his hand, and said very decisively.
When several other outer disciples saw this, they all looked indifferent and left on their own.
As for the remaining boys and girls, nearly half of the remaining boys and girls paled a bit when they heard that this ferocious man was going to arrange it for them personally.
Fang Xiongqi ignored this and turned around and walked towards the group of stone houses in a certain direction.
"Hehe" sneered, and a young man suddenly strode out of the crowd and followed him first.
It was Lei Zhen, a descendant of the Lei family.
Seeing this, the others dared to follow him in droves.
Liu Ming walked among them calmly, looking inconspicuous at all.
After seeing a group of boys and girls walking away, there was a faint wave behind a nearby big tree, and two figures standing side by side suddenly appeared.
One person has a yellowish face, wears a Confucian robe, has a yellow wooden hairpin in his head, hands behind his back, while the other person has his hair spread out, barefoot and chest open, with a huge red gourd hanging on his waist.
"Junior brother, what do you think? Is there any good talent among the children of this group of aristocratic families?" The man in Confucian robes looked at the boys and girls in the distance and suddenly asked his companion.
"Humph, isn't Senior Brother Gui asking questions knowingly? How can we see what is coming and coming now without going through the spirit-opening ceremony? In previous years, didn't each branch start selecting people after the ceremony? Why did Senior Brother come to see these children of the aristocratic families so early this time?
Even if you want to advance, should you choose from among the spiritual disciples trained by our sect?" The man with blond hair, who had a chubby face with a smile, muttered after hearing this.
"It's not like you don't know the situation of this branch. Those disciples who are judged to have nine spiritual veins or above have already been reserved by other branches. How can we grab them? If we want to really select a few good seedlings, we can only start from these
I have found one of the disciples of the aristocratic family. I also heard that there are also casual disciples participating this time. If you observe carefully, you might gain something." The Confucian scholar said slowly.
"Even though what senior brother said makes sense, what can be seen in this short period of time? Once the results of the opening ceremony come out, I'm afraid those mountains will swarm over again." The man with the shaggy hair said with a frown.
