The green bamboos in the mountains are stacked like a sea, and the breeze blows, bringing bursts of bamboo fragrance. In late autumn, the weather is already a bit cold, but for monks who are not afraid of cold and heat, it is still a cool breeze.
The small stove on the table is frying raw tea, and the aroma rises with the steam, which means the tea is ready to drink. .
"It seems that junior sister has gained a lot from this trip to the heaven. Congratulations to junior sister first." Ji Chongguang picked up the purple clay pot and poured tea for Tang Yue and herself.
Tang Yue said modestly: "Fortunately, I'm lucky to be able to save a life." She repeated what she had said to her grandfather before, and also concealed the Tzu Chi matter.
Ji Chongguang was not as suspicious as Elder Shui. He was keenly aware that there seemed to be something missing in Junior Sister Tang's words. She seemed to be hiding a key person in it.
“I have heard about the complicated power disputes in the First Heaven, but I didn’t expect that it involves not only the battle for the crown prince, but also the battle for the throne of God.”
The young palace master cares about Junior Sister Tang. He concealed it from himself, but he hid it very well, and his expression and attitude were the same.
"Yes, I also promised His Highness Huang Jingyao of Biluo City something. I'm afraid I can't complete this matter by myself."
She truthfully told the truth about her relationship with the Emperor. Jingyao's deal also included the jade token that can enter and exit the heaven. "When it comes to the continental competition, I hope that Senior Brother Ji can help me. If Senior Brother needs it, he can take this token."< br>
In fact, when she used Huahaoyueyue in the heaven, she left a passage in the original Qingfeng Secret Realm, which allowed her to enter and exit the heaven freely. However, using this passage is considered illegal smuggling, and there will be punishment if caught. .
Ji Chongguang stared at the token, not knowing what he was thinking, and said after a while: "Okay, I will help junior sister, and I will borrow this token when needed."
"Not yet. When it's time to use it, please keep it away and don't let others see it easily." Tang Yue nodded and said that he would pay attention.
Ji Chongguang also asked her why she wanted to go to Xiandu when she came back. Tang Yue felt that there was nothing to hide about these things, so she told him one by one.
"Not only have you gained something this time, but you can also make good friends with heaven and humans, which will be very beneficial for you to be selected for the continental competition team." Senior Brother Ji's expression was serious. It seems that this is his personal interview this time. The main reason to see yourself.
“As you said, the heavenly reward for this continental competition is very generous, almost granting a god’s position. On the surface, this seems to be a good thing, but in fact it increases the number of people in the continental competition. The degree of danger. "
Tang Yue nodded. She knew what Brother Ji meant. The reward was not only about ascension, but also about the divine position. All forces would work hard to compete for this position, and there would be many overt and covert fights.
“I don’t know if I can get this place in the competition, but my senior brothers and fellow teachers have placed high hopes on me over the years. Wuji Mountain treats me as an inner disciple, and I will work hard to get it. ”
“I hope you can get a spot in the team. Your ability to discuss Taoism is considered to be the best in Liuzhou Continent. Even in the whole continent, it is difficult for others to be the same as you. How many people can argue with you and cooperate with me, we in Liuzhou should have no rivals in the Tao discussion project."
Senior Brother Ji has stopped participating in Tao discussion conferences in recent years, and Tang Yue got it. Number one, but she didn't expect her senior brother to think so highly of her.
“More importantly, you have a strong foundation in spells and formations, and you can serve as a spellcaster in the team. You have also dabbled in other Taoist arts, so you are considered a relatively versatile talent. If you can join the team, It’s very good for our overall improvement.”
Tang Yue knew that Senior Brother Ji had been preparing for the world competition and would even focus on cultivating some talents he needed, including himself.
She couldn't help but said: "Senior brother, you have been planning for the Great Competition for so many years and thinking about Liuzhou's spiritual veins. You really take the world as your own responsibility, compared to us monks who only focus on personal cultivation and becoming an immortal. Much more selfless. "
Ji Chongguang looked up at her, clearly feeling calm in his gaze, but Tang Yue actually saw a bit of speechlessness in it. "Liuzhou has lost several competitions in succession. If we fall behind again this time, 60% of the spiritual energy will be divided up by other continents. By then, Liuzhou's spiritual energy will be thin and it will be more difficult for monks to ascend. It will also be very disadvantageous for me personally. "
"My current cultivation level is mostly due to the abundance of spiritual energy in Shangqing Palace. I have unique conditions. Since I enjoy the blessing of Liuzhou spiritual veins, I naturally have to bear such a responsibility. "
Tang Yue took it seriously, "I am also a monk in Liuzhou, and I should also protect Liuzhou's spiritual veins and benefit monks all over the world."
She also asked: " Why is the distribution of spiritual veins so important, placed above the world competition? "Losing in the competition will affect not only low-level practitioners, but also those who have transcended tribulations, Mahayana, and half-step ascension.
“Cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal is to go against the will of nature. Naturally, you have to accept extremely cruel competition. If the young disciples of Yizhou Realm are not good, then there is no need to waste spiritual energy on these people, and directly distribute it to those talented people. The beautiful Zhoujie allows the more suitable people to become immortals."
Tang Yue scratched his head, well, there is no egalitarian spirit in the heavenly world.
Ji Chongguang returned to the topic, "Although the continental competition is a major event related to Liuzhou's spiritual veins, all the families cannot work together to arrange the most suitable disciples to join the team. They will still try their best to make them Young children in their own families join the team to compete for the chance to become gods.”
As the saying goes, if one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and if there are more gods in the family, the blessings he can receive will naturally be more.
“I understand very well.”
“And whether you are suitable to join the team or not, you still have to go through some selection. I am here this time to inform you about the next big competition team. Selection process."
Tang Yue sat upright, "Senior brother, please speak."
"Because this competition is of great importance, it needs to be discussed by the elders of each sect. Trials in the secret realm, big and small competitions, slaying demons, scoring points, and selecting the final seven suitable people to form a team to participate in the continental competition."
"In this way, the best overall quality can be selected. The most suitable team, including me, will participate."
Tang Yue did not expect that such a strict selection would be required. He would not be able to win a single competition and would have to participate in various secret realms, which left him unfinished. She was very nervous during the academy assessment.
“I dare to ask, senior brother, how are the points calculated?”
“Three days later, the Shangqing Palace will make the selection rules public and send announcements to each sect, but I can first Let me tell you something.”
Tang Yue suddenly felt like there was someone inside, “Brother, please tell me.”
"The people participating in the selection are recommended by each sect. Because of your outstanding performance, Headmaster Xu has informed me that I will recommend you. You will receive a special black iron token to record your points."
< < br>
Tang Yue was surprised. These trials not only tempered the monks' mentality, but also provided rewards. Even if those who participated did not eventually enter the seven-person team of the continental competition, they would benefit a lot from it.
In this case, if she takes the recommendation qualification of Wuji Mountain, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the real inner disciples of Wuji Mountain.
