Chapter 74 Farewell
At the end of September, Yangshen Peak will conduct the last time before the selection of disciples this year. The disciples' practice achievements are determined. After fifteen days, they will take different paths separately, and some people may not have the chance to meet again in their lives.
The calm atmosphere of Yangshen Peak was temporarily interrupted. There were people saying goodbye to each other everywhere in the secluded woods, and some even cried bitterly. New disciples who had nothing to do with the elected disciples looked down on this and always avoided the old disciples walking. They secretly decided in their hearts that they would never lose their composure when they were about to leave Yangshen Peak, and they cried. How could they look like a practitioner?
In fact, the old disciples thought so the same thing the past two years, but when things were about to come, they could not control their emotions.
There was no homework on the afternoon of the day when Sizu Day. Eight young men from Yelin Town gathered in the Banyuelin and held a small farewell ceremony. At the strong request of Daliang Chen Xiuming, Fangfang did not bring Xiao Qingtao.
"It's Yelin Town, there are no outsiders." Daliang stood on the huge rock. He was sixteen years old and the oldest among his friends. However, it was the first time he spoke as a big brother. He knew that this was probably the last time. "Some people called us demon boys, some people said we were lucky. No matter what, I am proud of everyone in Yelin Town."
Tears flashed in Daliang's eyes. Everyone felt ridiculous at first, but when they thought of Daliang's younger brother, everyone felt the same sadness.
Daliang pointed at his friends and introduced the achievements of his practice one by one, without a nickname, "Qin Lingshuang, Huotong Niwan Palace has not passed the heavenly tribulation, and is second only to Gong Miao among female disciples."
Fangfang smiled shyly, and habitually raised her hand to cover her mouth, "You forgot Cheng Jia, she is the perfection of the heavenly tribulation."
"She is a four-year disciple and stayed for a year, not counting it." Daliang waved his hand generously, and the tears in his eyes disappeared. "You have been competing for our Yelin Town. There are two so-called Taoist daughters who were very good before, but their final results in practice were not as good as you. Don't be caught up with them in the future."
Everyone applauded and praised, Fangfang just laughed and said no more.
"Mu Xingqiu - let's call me Brother Xiaoqiu." Daliang is one year older than Xiaoqiu, but he has become accustomed to it for many years. "The first one to open the three fields, the heavenly tribulation is a little later. It is considered a draw with Shin Ji. The greatest pride of Yelin Town is his."
Everyone's applause became louder, and Xiaoqiu grinned.
"Chen Hao is also the only way to clear the three fields of heavenly tribulation. To be honest, I think you can do a little better, it should be that the heavenly tribulation is complete."
Chen Hao looked up at Daliang with dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips, and shouted: "Don't worry, the outcome has not yet been decided. Brother Xiaoqiu, let's make a bet, you will pass the heavenly tribulation earlier than me, but I will be faster than you in the condensed Qi into a pill."
"Yes, I need this energy!" Daliang added fuel to the fire happily, "What should I use as a bet?"
A group of homeless teenagers, of course, had no valuable items. Chen Hao thought for a while, "A bet on a copper coin is the copper coin that Li Yuechi left behind each of us."
"Okay, just bet on this." Xiao Qiu's interest also rose. At this moment, he even forgot about the hidden dangers of the young demon.
"Mu Feihuang, the lower Dantian has been overcome, and the results are also good." Daliang continued to introduce.
Mu Feihuang smiled slightly. Since Xiao Qiu discovered the story of the rumor, he has become less talkative and much more honest.
"Guan Jinwu, Zhao Dayi, the lower dantian robbery has not yet been overcome, and it has surpassed ordinary disciples, at least better than me." Daliang sighed, Guan and Zhao laughed. They were quite satisfied with their achievements and had decided to stay at Yangshen Peak to continue practicing, striving to enter the Ancestor Peak within the next two years.
"Chen Tongyou, Chen Xiuming, a pair of brothers and brothers who were in distress barely opened their orifices and did not win glory for Yelin Town, but it was not embarrassing, right? You must remember that there were about 140 people in the same year, and more than 50 people who did not achieve the same results as us." Daliang said that he smiled embarrassedly, raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.
Chen Tongyou blushed and shouted: "I want to stay at Yangshen Peak, and I will be able to open the three fields next year!"
Daliang sighed again, "Whether you go to Laozu Peak or stay at Yangshen Peak, we are all from Yelin Town. If our relatives are gone, we are just a family. Now no one can say that the demonic boys in Yelin Town are purely lucky. Having a Taoist root means being lucky. Is it also a lucky practice faster?"
"No!" several teenagers shouted in the same voice.
"You are all Taoist priests in Pangshan in the future, and you may be the first one. But I can't do it. I'm born not a material for practice. I have tried hard, but I'm very satisfied with being able to open the seven orifices." Daliang couldn't help but think of his younger brother. If Erliang was still there, his cultivation results would definitely be among the best. He held back and said, but his voice was a little choked, "I'm going to use it as an ordinary person, but I won't forget you. No matter where I go in the future, I will say to people I know, 'I have a bunch of brothers, oh, and a sister, Taoist priest Pangshan, don't mess with me'."
Everyone laughed at first, but they didn't know who started, but suddenly they all cried. Daliang cried especially hard, but he still refused to say his brother's name.
In the end, Daliang stopped crying first, jumped off the boulder, pulled Xiaoqiu and Shen Hao's arms, and came to Fangfang, "You three are going to Laozu Peak. Brother Xiaoqiu is the banned secret department, Chen Hao is the precepts department, and Fangfang is the chanting department. I know there must be more rules there, but I hope you can meet frequently and not get along with each other."
The three of them nodded solemnly, and tears were still shining in Fangfang's eyes.
The good general Xiao Qiu pushed towards Fangfang, pulled Chen Hao aside, and said seriously: "But don't tell me it's too often."
Chen Hao's face turned red, "You're really in charge."
"I'm afraid of delaying your practice, and I'll just take care of this time, and I won't have a chance to take care of it in the future." Daliang said with a smile.
Chen Hao glanced at Xiao Qiu and Fangfang who were whispering in a low voice, and said helplessly: "If you say it's too frequent, it's them."
"Although they have no marriage, they have the status of husband and wife, so of course they can always meet each other, just meet every day."
Chen Hao curled his lips, "The fate of the whole world is to be cut off, and the fate of the Tao is not long. You still want them... forget it, it's not your business, nor mine."
The party in Yelin Town ended, and the parting mood of Yangshen Peak continued. The only thing that remained indifferent was the Taoist children. For Shen Ji, nothing had changed. Only once, he walked up to Xiaoqiu before concentrating on the thought class and gave the Taoist rituals. Since apologizing more than two years ago, he spoke to Xiaoqiu for the first time, "Fellow Taoist Mu Xingqiu, I hope to see you in the Five Elements Department."
"I will see you again, not necessarily the Five Elements Department." Xiao Qiu said calmly. He never forgot Erliang's death, but he determined his enemy as Shen Geng and would not transfer it to others.
In two years left, Shen Geng will end his thoughts.
After Shen Ji left, Daliang whispered: "Superficial guy, he wishes you to enter the banned secret department, so that he will choose him in the first round of the Five Elements Department. I heard that he only recognizes the Five Elements Department and is even willing to be selected in the second round."
Xiaoqiu hesitated again. He liked the Five Elements Department and loved the life of killing demons and eliminating demons. The most important thing is that Shen Jixing, the first leader of the Five Elements Department, looked like a Taoist priest who was easy to use mind control techniques on his disciples.
The young demon is still a big trouble in Xiaoqiu.
But he had made a promise and could not change his words anymore. Lin Sa liked this disciple very much. Yang Baozhen had never taken special care of his biological son, but it is well known that Lin Du Cult prefers Mu Xiangqiu.
In the last half month, the Five Elements Department had not given up on the fight for Xiaoqiu. Yang Baozhen said a few more words to the young man for the first time, "You are a very smart disciple, but you are not suitable for banning the secret department." Her voice was very sincere, and Xiaoqiu could hardly believe that this was Yang Dushui.
"The Forbidden Secrets do know the most about the Demon Seeds, but they are just studying them, not face-to-face fighting. Even if one day you find a way to completely eliminate the Demon Seeds, the Taoist priest of the Five Elements Department will implement this method." Yang Baozhen added for no reason, "Li Yuechi died at the hands of the Demon Seeds."
"I'm not a person who goes back on my word." Xiao Qiu said that although he was very sorry that he could not enter the Five Elements Department, being able to keep a distance from the Shen family was also a kind of compensation.
"Turning your word? Yes, no one likes people who go back on their word." Yang Baozhen finally gave up persuasion, but her final tone was a bit meaningful.
All the people in Luanjing Mountain taught Sun Yulu that she did not participate in the competition. However, one time in class, she said to Xiaoqiu for no reason, "No matter what, Luanjing Mountain welcomes you."
Xiaoqiu knew that Luanjingshan would never welcome young demons. He had no skills and was even prepared to confess the truth to the first officer as soon as he entered the Ban Secret Department. Zuo Liuying had had the experience of fantasizing about his wife, and he might understand his situation.
Therefore, when the selection of apprentices finally began, Xiao Qiu felt relieved more than everyone else.
The apprenticeship selection ceremony has affected the lives of the disciples since the beginning of the year, but the whole process is very simple. Nearly 200 disciples from three years and above gathered in the Sizu Hall that afternoon, sitting on the cushion, facing the huge bronze bell.
More than a dozen people were taught in a row. Lin Sa was the host. He first took his disciples to recite the Sutra of Contempt for the Ancestors, then picked up a wooden hammer with an extremely long handle and tapped it gently on the bronze bell.
The bell sounded low and echoed in the Sizu Hall. The body of the bell suddenly appeared like a mirror. The grandson of Pangshan Ning Qiwei sat upright, chanting the Ten Commandments of the Pupils, and then disappeared.
Lin Sa announced the beginning of the selection of apprentices, picked up the wooden hammer and knocked on the bell.
The first place in the banned secret department this year is the image of Zuo Liuying, the first person in Zhong, and most of the disciples have seen him for the first time. Although they have heard of him for a long time, they are still shocked by his young appearance, but they dare not speak up.
Facing the bronze bell, Xiaoqiu pre-exercised her confession to the first seat and found that this was a very difficult thing. He was still wary of Zuo Liuying and did not reduce at all.
Zuo Liuying's eyes were low, as if she was very unhappy with the selection of apprentices. After waiting for a while, a female voice came from a place behind him that she could not see:
"Qin Lingshuang."
Lin Sa, holding a long-handled wooden hammer, was stunned. Fangfang and Xiaoqiu, who were sitting on the cushion, were stunned. All the disciples were stunned. The disciples who were attracted by the Forbidden Secret Department were obviously Mu Xingqiu, so why did they call out another name?
Chapter completed!
