"Uncle, please, just go in and register. Then you will become a registered disciple of Cheng Qian Zong. A registered disciple has a three-month inspection period. During these three months, as long as you meet the standards of Cheng Qian Zong, you will be accepted as a disciple.
A formal disciple." The waiter said.
"I know." Yang Hui went in to register.
"Who is next?" A man sat in the center of the lobby and looked at Yang Hui and said.
The one above is an old man, with a gray beard, shallow wrinkles, and a pair of eyes that are always smiling, making people think that he is an amiable old man.
"I want to join Cheng Qianzong." Yang Hui said.
"Well, do you have a certificate for passing the previous test?" the man asked.
"Yes," Yang Hui quickly and respectfully handed it to the person.
"Okay." The man said. Then he took out a sign from the drawer. "Here, this is the sign that you have become a registered disciple."
Yang Hui accepted it.
"There is a three-month inspection period for registered disciples. If you pass, you can become an official disciple." The man said.
"Yes, thank you senior." Yang Hui said.
"Okay, go ahead and go to the main hall to report that someone has arranged a place for you." The man said.
"Thank you, senior." Yang Hui said.
Yang Hui turned around and went out.
"Uncle, look..." Yang Hui took a look and saw that the waiter looked mean.
"Okay, here you go." Yang Hui took out a few more banknotes from his body. "You go ahead. I know the way down there myself."
"Well, thank you sir, if I have anything to do in the future, I can continue to come to you." The waiter said with a playful smile.
Pull you down, Yang Hui said in his heart, if I look for you a few more times, I will sell my kidneys.
Inherited from Qianzong, alas.
…
Yang Hui came to the main hall,
There are 12 huge and thick vermilion pillars in the hall, square with circles, bright colors, high up to open up a spacious space. Under the ceiling of the double dragons playing with pearls caisson, heavy-colored green landscape paintings are embedded on the east and west walls, welcoming the door.
In the middle is a stream
A round fountain filled with gold and jade. Behind the fountain, on the terrace lounge, is covered with dark red flowers, with clusters of sofa-style chairs and hardwood tables scattered among them. Sit here and enjoy tea, classical music softly plays in your ears.
, as if you were in a royal palace...
Walking into the main hall, in the center is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, with a gold lacquer carved dragon throne placed on it. Behind it is a carved dragon screen. There are six tall gold dragon pillars on both sides of the square platform, and each pillar is coiled with a dragon.
A vigorous golden dragon; looking up at the top of the palace, there is a huge carved dragon on the central caisson, with a dragon hanging from its mouth.
A large silver-white round bead, surrounded by six small beads, the dragon head, the orb is facing the golden throne below. The colorful paintings between the beams are gorgeous, bright and pleasing to the eye, with red and yellow gold dragon patterns, and two dragons playing with beads.
Single dragons are flying; there are walking dragons, sitting dragons, flying dragons, descending dragons, all colorful, and the dragons are surrounded by flowing clouds and flames.
When Yang Hui looked outside before, he saw buildings, clusters of buildings rising up like dense forests, as tall as banyan trees in the south, as tall as poplars in the north, as white as cedars, as bright green as bamboos, and as golden as ginkgo trees in late autumn.
Dawn red, like the kapok trees full of flowers in late spring...Twenty layers, two
The tenth floor, the forty floor, the fiftieth floor... some even soared up at a high speed of three days, like countless huge exclamation marks, and heavy rain splashed around the Yanghui. The Yanghui rose, fell, rotated, looked down, and looked up.
, looking straight up and admiring, it is inevitably accompanied by a sense of dizziness and weightlessness.
So stylish.
But Yang Hui didn't dare to go deeper.
Because this is definitely a place where some big shots stay. The Qingyan Sect, which Yang Hui had never heard of before, still has several ninth-level monks. The Chengqian Sect is a large sect on the mainland. To put it bluntly, the Chengqian Sect
Apart from the Wan Teng Sect, it is the strongest sect on the Tiantong Continent.
Where the big shots of this sect stayed, Yang Hui didn't dare to make any mistakes.
In the dormitory, I saw cloud-top sandalwood as beams, crystal jade as lamps, pearls as curtains, and gold as pillar foundations. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed was hung with a crocodile gauze tent, embroidered with pearls and silver threads all over the tent.
Begonia flowers, whistling in the wind
It moves like a magical sea falling into the clouds. There is a sapphire fragrant pillow on the couch, covered with soft silkworm ice quilt, jade belts and quilts. A huge moon bead hangs on the top of the palace, shining brightly.
, like the bright moon.
"Who is next?" Same question.
But this time, Yang Hui did have a different answer.
"I am Yunshan, the registered disciple of Qianzong. I am here to apply for a dormitory. Please approve it." Yang Hui heard the voice and didn't know how many people were on the other side, so he said this.
"Okay, Yunshan, I understand. You can go out now. Someone is waiting for you at the door and will make arrangements for you." The voice said.
"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
Yang Hui didn't dare to say anything. After he came out, he saw someone waiting for him at the door.
"Are you Yunshan? Come with me." The monk said.
"Senior brother, I'm new here. I don't understand the rules when I first come here, so I would like to ask if there are any special rules for inheriting the Qianzong?" Yang Hui asked. The reason why it was senior brother who spoke was because of this guy
He is a serious disciple, while Yang Hui is just a registered disciple.
"Hahaha, if you want to say the strangest thing about inheriting the Qianzong, it is that it does not recruit female apprentices. It is the same as the Wanhua Sect, but the Wanhua Sect only recruits female apprentices, which is just the opposite of us." The monk said.
"But, I heard that monks here seem to be able to have female dependents," Yang Hui said.
"Yes, we are not Longyin Temple. If the monks here do not marry and have children, is there any difference from the monks in Longyin Temple?" the monk said with a smile.
"This is the same way," Yang Hui said.
"Junior brother Yunshan, there is another important rule in inheriting the Qianzong. You must remember that you cannot violate it. If you violate it, then you may be expelled directly." The monk suddenly said seriously.
.
"Huh? What's wrong, senior brother?" Yang Hui didn't know what was going on.
"It's like this, Junior Brother Yunshan, there are two biggest taboos in inheriting the Qianzong's rules. First, you must not attack your fellow sects, except of course for competitions in the ring. Secondly, you must not go to the sect's forbidden areas.
, only the elders and sect masters can go to the forbidden area," the monk said.
"Well, I understand, but where is this forbidden area?" Yang Hui said. Seeing that the monk's expression was wrong, Yang Hui quickly explained. "Senior brother, don't get me wrong. I want to know, and then I won't go.
, if I broke into the forbidden area without knowing it, how unjust it would be for me to be expelled."
"Hahaha, that's true. In fact, if you have been in the sect for a long time, you will know it." The monk said. "It is in a valley within ten miles of Cliff Peak."
"Oh, that's right." Yang Hui understood, and Yang Hui guessed that the next eight souls would be in the so-called forbidden area.
There are some deviations in the Baichuan fragment. After all, it was something handed down hundreds of years ago, so some discrepancies are normal.
"Yes, other than that, Cheng Qianzong is quite good. But if you want to practice, there won't be much improvement unless you can become an inner disciple of Cheng Qianzong." The monk said.
Yang Hui nodded and said nothing. Along the way, he saw at least a few hundred monks. In the Wan Teng Sect, a few hundred monks were only a fraction of the strength of the Wan Teng Sect.
And it seems that for Cheng Qianzong, the number of monks is only dozens or even hundreds of percent. If there are such a large number of people in Cheng Qianzong, few of them can learn anything real.
.
However, those guys who inherited Qianzong are not bad, they all seem to have strong self-learning ability.
With this thought in mind, Yang Hui was taken to his residence by the monk.
"This is where you live," the monk said.
"Thank you, senior brother," Yang Hui went in, and the monk turned and left.
The early morning sunshine is like drizzle dripping on the dreamy house in front of you, spreading over every corner that has been dusted by time. The air is filled with the fresh smell of plants. Follow this smell and reflect it.
What enters the pupil is that the outer wall is covered with moss
The building, fingers gently stroking the cool rocks, is particularly beautiful. Outside the window is a copper fence with a graceful body. The slightly curled edge at the top resembles a branch like a sunflower leaf, making the rigid building blend into the woods around it.
Integrated, although the paint on the door is due to
It is ancient and corroded, but it has a sense of vicissitudes of beauty. The golden doorknob shines with tiny lights under the sunlight. Although it is small, it seems to penetrate into people's hearts. Even if the cold morning dew touches the body, it will still shine.
Evaporated by the light, the door creaked as it was pushed open
Although the sound is harsh, it can unexpectedly calm people's hearts. Even if the bricks on the roof fall off a little, they still have an indescribable beauty. Looking at this huge and exquisite historical deposit, I suddenly find that the world is so
Big and we are just a speck of dust.
Not only do the houses here look very historical, but the accommodation inside is not much better either.
It turned out to be a Datong shop for twenty people.
Yang Hui was helpless, but for the sake of the earth soul, he still endured it.
But although the sleeping conditions here are not very good, the decoration is quite good.
The big Kang by the window is covered with a scarlet Yangzi (jì), and on the front is a bright red Money Python backrest, an azure Money Python pillow, and a Autumn-colored Money Python large mattress. On both sides are a pair of plum blossom-style foreign lacquered small tables. The tables on the left
The one above is the Wang Ding spoon and the incense box; the one on the right is yours.
Kiln beauty goblet (gū) - There are fresh flowers inserted in the goblet, as well as tea bowls, spit boxes and other items. There are four chairs lined up on the ground west and west, all covered with silver-red flower-sprinkled chairs, with four pairs of footrests underneath. On both sides of the chair
, there is also a pair of high tables, with tea bowls, vases and flowers on them.
The furnishings of this room are very simple, but very gorgeous. The room is round, with a circle of fixed benches against the wall. The benches, walls, and ceiling are all covered with magnificent animal skins. When you step on them, it looks like
The most precious carpets are as soft as the most precious carpets; among them are fluffy mane lion skins from the southern Tiantong continent, striped tiger skins, which seem to be the skins of Beimang Zhenshan tigers... Sure enough, Emperor Qianzong did not forget to pay attention to the north.
Mang Zhenshanhu takes action.
Yang Hui then looked at the leopard skins from the west that had appeared on Tiantong Continent a long time ago, and the bear skins and fox skins from Tianzhu Mountain that had disappeared on the road.
; These animal skins are thickly laid one on top of another, as if walking on a racecourse with the lushest grass, or lying on the most luxurious bed.
Hanging on the wall are curtains embroidered with hunting pictures with gold and silver silk threads. The embroidery work was considered the most exquisite at that time. The bed is covered with an equally rich silk cover, surrounded by short purple curtains. The chairs are also
They all have colorful covers, one of which is particularly tall, with a carved ivory footstool in front of it. There are at least four silver lamp stands, lit with tall candles, illuminating the whole room.
I really don’t know what the people who inherited Qianzong think. This is completely inconsistent. Yang Hui felt funny in his heart, but didn’t say anything.
"Brother, are you new here too?" A monk looked at Yang Hui and said.
"Yes, brother, are you also a registered disciple?" Yang Hui asked.
"Yeah, you haven't noticed the conditions here. They are nondescript. That is to say, our registered disciples live here, and the official disciples live much better than us." The monk said.
"Who called us the new guy?" the guy said.
"Yes, as long as you get through this period, it will be fine." Yang Hui said. In fact, he only had the Earth Soul in his mind right now, and nothing else was as important as the Earth Soul.
To put it briefly, Yang Hui lived here and soon became familiar with the people here. Then Yang Hui waited for the opportunity to enter the forbidden area.
…
"Grandpa, it's not good. We have received a report that Longyin Temple, Sifang Pavilion, Chengqianzong, and Yuxiufeng are all going to support Wantengzong." Ren Xiaotian looked at Master Ren and said.
"Isn't this also expected?" Valley Master Ren smiled.
"However, the addition of these sects will be very detrimental to our war situation." Ren Xiaotian said.
"Well, that's right, but they are different from that sect. We have ways to stop that sect from sending troops, but we don't have any control over these sects. How can we stop them?" Valley Master Ren said. Now he felt that Ren Xiaotian was a little strange.
, so instead of telling Ren Xiaotian his true feelings directly, he asked him for a solution.
"I think we can give it a try. At least, doesn't Cheng Qianzong have some unclear relationship with that sect? Especially the sect leaders of these two sects..." Ren Xiaotian said.
"You look down on Cheng Qianzong too much." Valley Master Ren said coldly. "Do you think Cheng Qianzong would give up his support for Wan Teng Zong for a woman?"
"No, grandpa, Cheng Qianzong will never not send troops for this reason. I know this, but aren't they the most powerful sect in Tiantong Continent besides Wan Teng Sect? If Wan Teng Sect disappears, Cheng Qian will
Can Zong inherit this title?" Ren Xiaotian said.
"Do you think they are stupid? Cheng Qianzong simply does not have the strength to hold on to the title of the first sect. If they succeed and encounter endless challenges, Cheng Qianzong will not be able to afford it. Wan Teng Sect's path is absolutely
In the elite route, each of their people is a master who can compete with ten at the same level, while Cheng Qianzong takes the quantitative route. As long as the talent is reasonable, anyone can
To join the Chengqianzong. Therefore, the Chengqianzong sect has more than ten times the number of the Wan Teng Sect. If you include some handymen, cooks, etc., it will be close to 40,000 people, and the Wan Teng Sect
Even if all those people are added, the number will not exceed three thousand. But why can Wan Teng Sect maintain the title of the first sect, have you ever thought about it?" Valley Master Ren looked at Ren Xiaotian angrily.
"This..." Ren Xiaotian really didn't know.
"Because the people of Wan Teng Zong are all masters and are generally difficult to kill. As long as they can't be killed, they will recover quickly. Their combat effectiveness remains unchanged. The people of Qian Zong are easy to kill. As long as the number decreases,
Then the strength of Chengqianzong will decline rapidly." Master Ren Gu said. "So Chengqianzong will never want to inherit the position of Wantengzong, unless their sect leaders and elders are all brain-broken."
"Grandpa, this is something I didn't consider well. Please forgive me, grandpa." Ren Xiaotian said.
"Okay, it's none of your business, go down." Valley Master Ren said.
"Yes, Grandpa," Ren Xiaotian went down. After turning around, he looked at the people around him with a strange look.
Ren Xiaotian left.
"Valley Master, what Young Valley Master said is not unreasonable. If we can persuade those sects not to support the Wan Teng Sect, then our winning rate will be much higher soon?" said an elder.
"Yes, Valley Master, the sixth elder is right." The second elder said.
"No, I know, there is no problem with this plan, but the problem is that I feel that Ren Xiaotian has changed a lot now." Ren Guzhu said. "Since that time when I went to Yuxiu Peak, I feel that he is not mine.
My grandson has become a different person. Although he was only mercenary before, he had great respect for me as a grandfather. But now, I feel a chilling feeling, because it seems that I am his target."
"Valley Master Ren, you must be overly concerned. I don't think there has been any change in Young Master Valley. When I went to give Luo Ying an ultimatum, wasn't it quite normal?" said the Sixth Elder.
"No, you are not familiar with him, so you don't know what he is like. He was not like this before." Valley Master Ren said. "Maybe it's because people tend to be careless as they get older. Alas..." Valley Master Ren said helplessly.
said.
"Valley Master Ren, please rest assured. I guarantee that there will be no problem with the young Valley Master. He may have neglected his relationship with grandpa in order to seal the Demon Valley. Valley Master, don't worry too much." The second elder said
Also advised.
"Well, I understand." Valley Master Ren shook his head helplessly, indicating that he understood.
"Okay, it's okay now. Let's continue to discuss the next plan." Valley Master Ren said. "I think it is necessary to send someone to Chengqian Sect to issue an ultimatum. Maybe we can reduce the resistance?"
"So, will our plan to attack the Wan Teng Sect have to be delayed for a while?" the second elder asked.
