Chapter 22 Guess
The butler was startled after hearing this. He stood behind Zhou Xian. The luster of the ground, reflected by the bright moon, was as white as snow, reflecting his frowning brows.
If you don’t pass the clan exam, you will definitely not be able to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly. But if you pass the big test in the clan, or even achieve the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing, can you definitely participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly?
For those of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Hengnan who are interested in developing in the sect, participating in the Jingchen Dharma Ceremony is the best choice. But even for a family like the Zhou family in Hengnan, the number of places allocated to each session was very small.
In this way, the competition is extremely fierce.
In the end, those who can be pushed out by the family to represent the Hengnan Zhou family to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly are all selected from the best, and they are beyond the best.
"Master."
The chief steward thought for a while, but still didn't understand, so he spoke with doubts, tentatively, and said: "Zhou Qing is weak in the clan. Ah.”
The ranking of places among the competing clans to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Ceremony is a comprehensive and comprehensive competition, so whether the participants have any background is also very important.
Anyway, those who are interested in participating in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly are all outstanding young people with good qualifications. Generally speaking, there is no gap in qualifications, and the operation of the forces behind them can distinguish them. Up and down.
Zhou Qing, who has no background, was eliminated immediately. Want to compete for a spot? wishful thinking!
Zhou Xian looked further away, where a rainbow bridge connected pavilions and pavilions, with ripples of color and frost, and the night wind blew, sparkling and moving, just like the waves in his heart. .
His voice sounded vague and uncertain, and he said: "What if the sects who came to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly asked Zhou Qing to participate by name?"
"What?"
When the butler heard this, he opened his eyes wide. Zhou Qing, who was alone in the Zhou family in Hengnan, could have such power in the sect?
Every Jingchen Dharma Assembly attracts outstanding descendants of the Zhou family in Hengnan, the Zhang family in Yunhuai, the Huang family in Linwu and other families that have been passed down for thousands of years to participate. Looking at the trend, the competition is becoming more and more fierce.
Most of the people who participated in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly were promoted by major families. But in each session, there are occasionally a few who will be invited by the sects participating in the Jingchen Dharma Conference and directly promoted to Jingchen Mountain without the recommendation of the family.
It is possible to get such a helicopter club, very few, Zhou Qinghui is one?
Zhou Xian withdrew his gaze, and a large expanse of clear air fell in front of him, reflecting the stars and moon in the sky. There was a kind of silence inside, which made it difficult to extricate himself.
He was not sure whether Zhou Qing would be named to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly. I just got vague news that the person in charge of the Zhenyi Sect who came to attend the Dharma Conference did mention Zhou Qing's name in front of others.
"Zhou Qing and Zhen are the same sect."
Zhou Xian's eyes reflected light, and hexagrams continued to appear and die.
He didn't know much about Zhou Qing's biological father. He only knew that he was born in the Luochuan Zhou family and was once a disciple of the Zhenyi Sect. At a young age, he died in a civil strife within the sect. His wife, Zhou Qing's mother, also passed away soon after.
Later Zhou Ming took his nephew Zhou Qing back to the Zhou family in Hengnan and lived there. Not many members of the Zhou clan in Hengnan are willing to contact him.
Because the civil strife in the Zhenyi Sect was so tragic that there were even rumors that even the great supernatural power users at the immortal level were killed. It's just that the Zhenyi Sect is kept secret and sealed, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from inquiring.
Since then, it has become even more mysterious.
No one knows what the cause of Zhou Qing’s father’s death is, what beings are involved, what secrets there are, and once he comes into contact with it and gets involved in something, then a disaster may be imminent for Lian Heng. Even the Nanzhou clan could not be saved.
What's more, since then, neither the Luochuan Zhou family nor the Zhenyi sect has ever paid attention to Zhou Ming and Zhou Qing. Gradually, as more than ten years passed, everyone within the Zhou family in Hengnan had almost forgotten Zhou Qing's roots.
Even Zhou Xian only regarded Zhou Qing as an ordinary member of the clan. But looking at it now, the surname is Zhou. This young man is the Zhou of the Zhou family in Luochuan, not the Zhou of the Zhou family in Hengnan. "Zhou Luoyun plotted against Zhou Qing. Did he hear the news already?"
A thought suddenly came to Zhou Xian's mind, and he couldn't help but pace upstairs. It was at the zenith of the moon, and a piece of clear light was cast on the ground. Stepping on it was like stepping on spring snow. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
The status of Zhou Luoyun and Zhou Qing in the Hengnan Zhou family is very different between the one in the sky and the other underground. There is basically no intersection between the two, and there will be no grudges.
But in the past few months, Zhou Luoyun has suddenly set his sights on Zhou Qing, and has been constantly trying to hinder his cultivation.
Could it be that Zhou Luoyun got the news in advance and knew that the leader of the Zhenyi Sect who was coming to attend the Jingchen Dharma Conference mentioned Zhou Qing, and he would definitely not be happy about it.
Because judging from the examples of previous Jingchen Dharma Assembly, if Zhen Yizong really takes the initiative to let Zhou Qing participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, there is a 70% chance that Zhou Qing will be chosen in the end.
According to the usual practice, Shangxuanmen like Zhenyi Sect usually only chooses one person at a Jingchen Dharma Assembly.
Zhou Luoyun is one of the most outstanding among the aristocratic families in this area. If he wants to join the Zhenyi Sect, he must find a way to keep Zhou Qing out and prevent him from having the opportunity to participate in the Jingchen Technique. meeting.
He had no way to prevent the Zhenyi Sect from possibly naming Zhou Qing, but according to the regulations of the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, young people who have not practiced the third level of the Taoist realm, the Marrow Cleansing Realm, are never allowed to participate. If the young man has not washed his marrow and moved his bones, even the leader of the sect who participated in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly cannot name him to participate directly. So he tried to interfere with Zhou Qing so that he would not cleanse his marrow before the Jingchen Dharma Assembly.
Looking at it now, Zhou Luoyun’s plan almost failed.
“Very interesting.”
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Xian's face.
If what he expected was correct, when Zhou Luoyun got the news, Zhou Qing was still trapped in the inner refining level and had not yet made a breakthrough. At that time, it was less than half a year before the Jingchen Dharma Assembly. According to common sense, Zhou Qing might not be able to pass the clan's major exam in half a year, let alone participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly.
Anyone else might have ignored Zhou Qing. Anyway, he would not be able to practice marrow cleansing in half a year. But Zhou Luoyun likes to control everything and stifle any possible accidents. So even though Zhou Qing seemed to be incapable of doing anything, he still made a secret move to ensure that no accidents would happen and nothing would go wrong.
As for Zhou Qing, he is also weird.
Before Zhou Luoyun didn’t make a secret move, Zhou Qing was mediocre in the clan. He was still training and accumulating for the first realm of Taoism. No one looked at him seriously. But since being suppressed by Zhou Luoyun overtly and covertly, Zhou Qing has somehow become like a different person. He keeps breaking through the barriers in practice and making rapid progress. In less than two months, he actually stepped into the third realm of Taoism and successfully cleansed his marrow. .
Two people, targeting each other?
Zhou Xian was quite interested when he thought of this, so he ordered Housekeeper Zhou, "Keep an eye on him more closely and let Zhou Qing pass the clan exam as soon as possible."
Zhou Qing even now I have passed the test, but it is best to pass the clan test. If Zhenyi Sect directly named him to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, there would be no more surprises.
Furthermore, according to the rules of the Jingchen Dharma Conference, if the sects participating in the Dharma Assembly want to name people to be directly promoted to participate in the Dharma Assembly, they must make a centralized announcement two months before the start of the Dharma Assembly. Doing the math, it’s almost time for the announcement.
The butler heard Zhou Xian's words were more solemn than before, nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes."
On this day, in the quiet room, Zhou Qing opened his eyes and breathed out a streak of white air like a rainbow. By this time, all the immortal bones in his body had been found and a round of sacrificial refining had been carried out.
