The mountain range where the Mangui Sect is located has more than a dozen peaks, large and small, but most of them are occupied by the eight branches of the sect. Only the largest peak among them is not owned by any branch. Instead, a deacon hall was built on it, hiding
A series of buildings that are very important to the sect, such as the Sutra Pavilion and the Alchemy Room, are patrolled and guarded by selected disciples day and night.
The Patriarch Hall is a place where Mangui Sect disciples worship their ancestors, so it was naturally built on top of it.
The huge black cloud landed on a platform halfway up the mountain. As soon as it fell, several green-robed disciples ran quickly from a hall not far away. They bowed respectfully to the woman on the black cloud and said
:
"See Uncle Li, everything is ready in the Patriarch's Hall, it's just waiting for the headmaster and all the uncles."
"Okay, you can take these new junior brothers in first. The head senior brother will be here in a while." The woman gave the order seemingly casually.
"Yes, Uncle Master." These green-robed disciples nodded in agreement, then greeted Liu Ming and others, and led a group of boys and girls towards the giant palace in the distance.
The woman stayed where she was without moving, as if she planned to wait outside for the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and others.
Liu Ming was caught in the crowd, and when he walked into the palace gate, he glanced up.
There is a silver plaque several feet long hanging on it, with three huge gold inscriptions saying "ancestral hall" written on the surface, and there is a faint crystal light flowing on it.
As soon as they entered the gate, many disciples took a breath of cold air.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary palace built against a mountain, but inside, there was a huge hall that was more than ten feet high and spread over a hundred acres.
There are hundreds of black chairs placed on both sides of the hall, and an ancient painting about ten feet long hangs on the wall at the end of the huge hall.
In the painting, there is a figure from the back of a Taoist in a green shirt, with a several-inch-long silver hairpin on his head, an unsheathed long sword on his back, and a ferocious evil ghost head on each foot, with layers of layers outside his body.
The faint black air lingers, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
At the bottom of the picture, there is a five- to six-foot-long silver altar table, with a burning lamp at each end, and fifteen or sixteen pale gold tablets in the middle, with black names written on them.
There is also a huge bronze cauldron placed in front of the altar, with several half-burned incense candles inserted inside, giving people a solemn feeling.
After the green-robed disciples brought all the disciples into the hall and stood there, they returned to the door and stood with their hands tied, not paying any attention to the new disciples.
Seeing this, all the boys and girls couldn't help but look at each other, but because of the solemn atmosphere in the hall, no one whispered, so they had to stand there and wait.
After Liu Ming looked around the huge hall, his eyes fell on the ancient paintings hanging in front of him.
This picture is hung in such a solemn position. The person in it is most likely the founder of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, but it is just a back view, which is quite strange.
Liu Ming's random thoughts did not last long. After a meal, footsteps were heard outside the door. Several green-robed disciples standing at the door bowed at the same time and said loudly:
"Greetings to the master and all the masters!"
"Get up." After the faint voice of the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect came, an old man in sackcloth walked in from the door, a Confucian scholar named Gui, a big man named Lei and other Barbarian Ghost Sect spiritual masters, and Chong was the last one to follow.
people.
At this time, all the spiritual masters removed their protective spiritual light and revealed their true appearance.
Liu Ming and other disciples also hurriedly paid tribute.
This time, the leader of the Barbarian Ghost Sect did not let everyone stand up. Instead, he led the others to the altar table, picked up an incense candle, lit it, and inserted it into the copper tripod. Then he turned around and asked the boys and girls to stand up.
"My sect leader Huang Shi, I believe that most of you already know me, so I won't introduce you further. Now that you have opened the spiritual sea, as long as you worship the ancestor, you will be a true disciple of this sect from now on. Enshrined in the ancestor hall
The person in this painting is the founder of our sect, 'Liu Yin Zhenren'. Six of the current eight branches of our sect are directly passed down from the ancestor. The tablets enshrined below are the achievements of our sect in the past.
If it were not for the protection of the seniors in the crystallization stage, this sect would not have been able to continue to this day. Now you all come forward one by one to offer incense to the ancestor and the ancestors of the sect, and at the same time state your names." Head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect.
Said solemnly.
"Crystal stage? Could it be that there are higher-level beings above spiritual masters?"
When Liu Ming heard this word for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. As an impostor who broke into the world of cultivation halfway, he knew very little about everything that came to him.
Judging from the normal expressions on most of the other disciples' faces, most of them should be aware of the relevant matters.
While Liu Ming was thinking secretly, Gao Chong, a disciple of the Earth Spiritual Vein, had already taken the lead to walk to the altar table and kneel down at the signal from the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, and said respectfully:
"Disciple Gao Chong, I am honored to join the Barbarian Ghost Sect today. I also hope that the ancestors and ancestors will protect me. From now on, I will do my best to carry forward this sect."
Then the tall young man stood up, picked up an incense candle, lit it and inserted it into the giant cauldron before returning to his original seat.
As soon as they saw someone starting to talk, a group of boys and girls started to pay homage and offer incense one after another. Most of the words they said about joining the sect were similar to Gao Chong's.
After all the disciples had finished bowing, the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect stood in front of everyone again and said with a straight face:
"There are three major commandments in our sect and thirty-six sect rules. If you violate one of them, you will have your body destroyed to extract your soul, or your magic power will be banned. You will be thrown into the Black Wind Valley to suffer the punishment of the wind and thunder. And these rules and regulations are specific.
As for the content, someone will explain it to you in detail in a few days, so you must take care of yourself!"
"yes"
All the disciples responded with awe in their hearts.
"In addition, this sect is divided into eight branches: Ghost Dance, Yin Evil, Xuanfu, Jiuying, Poison Spirit, Corpse Refining, Tianji, and Blood Transformation. According to past practice, the masters of these eight branches will take turns to treat you.
Do you have any opinions on the selection?" The leader of the Barbarian Ghost Sect asked calmly.
Naturally, no one among the disciples would really object.
Seeing this situation, the old man in sackcloth was very satisfied and continued calmly:
"In this case, I will represent the Blood Transformation line and select a disciple first. Gao Chong, you have good qualifications. If you are willing to evolve the Blood line, I would like to accept you as my direct disciple?"
As soon as he said this, the leader of the Man Ghost Sect suddenly looked at the tall young man.
"Gao Chong is willing to accept the master as his teacher!" Hearing this, the tall young man stood up from the crowd without any hesitation and paid homage to the old man in sackcloth.
"Okay, kid, get up. From now on, you will be the seventh direct disciple of my sect. Your other senior brothers and sisters will be introduced to you when I return to my residence." The head of the Mangui Sect burst into laughter.
, and asked the tall young man to stand up and follow him back to the side.
The Confucian scholar surnamed Gui, Junior Brother Chu, Han surnamed Lei and others next to him all had unpleasant expressions when they saw this, but they didn't really say anything to stop him.
"I, Chu Qi, am the mountain master of the Yin Sha lineage. Jialan, why don't you come over here?" Junior Brother Chu walked out immediately and waved to a seemingly inconspicuous and pretty girl in the crowd.
When his true appearance was revealed, he was an elegant young man in his thirties, looking like a handsome and elegant man.
"What, she is Jialan with the body of a nightmare!"
"Impossible, I know this girl, isn't her name Su'er?
"Idiot, she must have used a false name before!"
The disciple next to the pretty girl suddenly took a few steps back in surprise, and many people started talking in surprise.
The girl ignored all this and walked out of the crowd with a normal expression. After silently bowing to Chu Qishen, she stood up on her own.
Chu Qi nodded with a satisfied look and took the girl aside.
"Nightmare Body!"
Liu Ming stared at the girl for a few times, and then thought of the charming woman who had briefly appeared in the square before, and felt a little enlightened.
"Lei Zhen, what are you waiting for? Come here." The big man surnamed Lei stood there without moving, but glared at Lei Zhen and shouted directly to the crowd.
Lei Zhen raised his eyes and seemed a little reluctant, but he still walked over helplessly.
In this way, with the eight branches selecting one person at a time, the eight most outstanding disciples were quickly selected first.
Among them, the Confucian scholar named Gui had no choice but to choose a Nine Spiritual Vein disciple. It seemed that this was an exchange for concessions made by the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect.
For this Nine Infant Vein Master, if he could accept a Nine Spirit Vein disciple in the past, it would be something worthy of celebration, but now he has lost an Earth Spirit Vein disciple that he should have obtained, and naturally he cannot be happy at all.
Woke up.
The remaining Nine Spirit Meridian disciples were chosen for the other veins.
In the second round, most of the selections for all branches can only be given to disciples of the Six Spiritual Meridians and other disciples who are talented in certain aspects.
As Liu Ming is a three-spiritual spiritual disciple, it is naturally impossible to choose him in the first few rounds.
However, when all the disciples of the Six Spiritual Meridians were almost selected, someone finally noticed Liu Ming.
The 'Junior Sister Lin' of the Ghost Dance lineage, whose full name is Lin Caiyu, is a pretty woman who seems to be in her twenties. When her eyes glanced at Liu Ming, she finally remembered what the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect had said.
His mental power is stronger than that of ordinary people.
They are also quite accomplished in the field of illusion, so they also need some disciples with good mental strength.
So the woman's thoughts changed and she planned to pick Liu Ming away when it was her turn again.
As for the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, after acquiring Gao Chong, a disciple of the Earth Spiritual Vein, he had already focused most of his attention on him. How could he still remember that he casually mentioned a certain disciple...
But the next moment, something beyond Junior Sister Lin’s expectation happened:
"Well, your name is Liu Ming. Are you willing to join our Nine Infants lineage?" When it was the Confucian scholar surnamed Gui's turn to stand up again, he asked Liu Ming in a seemingly casual manner.
