Chapter 150 The sword goes awry on the truth-seeking stage
Another day, on the truth-seeking stage.
I don’t know when, I just heard a clear sword cry, coming from afar, containing a kind of tranquility like the cries of birds in the shadowy mountains and valleys, and then where the water and the sky meet, clusters of cold light surged out. After coming out, a moment later, it collided with the four qi machines, and the star qi gradually rose, approaching from far away. When they reached the top of the peak, the starry energy in the sky gathered together and turned into a star sword pill, which jumped onto Li Wenqing's top door. He appeared, holding on to the crown of heaven on his head, and walked up. .
All along the mountain road, there are gurgling streams, deep green woods, and countless strange rocks. There were also three or five spirit deer who heard the noise, poked their heads out from behind the trees, and then jumped out, yelling, opening their big watery eyes. Not only were they not afraid of people, but they also took the initiative to come forward and kept spinning.
Li Wenqing smiled. As an alchemy monk, he had no shortage of elixirs, so he took out one, crushed it, and gave it to the spirit deer at his feet.
After feeding the deer, Li Wenqing climbed up the mountain.
On the top of the peak, a high platform has been arranged and erected. It is made of gold and jade, engraved with mysterious inscriptions, and is made according to regulations. Just by looking at it, you can see that there are strict rules and orderly top and bottom.
Li Wenqing took a look and found a small high platform with only three floors. He stretched out his big sleeves and sat on the copper couch. The power of Dansha rose behind him, reflecting the halo of the canopy. A moon rises slowly, illuminating all directions.
Speaking of which, Li Wenqing is young and is already an alchemy monk with a bright future. He also holds an important position in the Zhenyi Sect's organization and holds a lot of power. He was outside, and he was always being cheered by. But here, I can only stay on the most inconspicuous high platform.
That's it. Not only was Li Wenqing not dissatisfied at all, but he was actually happy from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, there was also movement on a nearby three-story small high platform. A Dansha aura rose from it. After unfolding, it was green, like the color of pine trees after the rain, like the dark water in a deep pool, green and faint, and there was no trace of it. end.
On this high platform, there was a woman. She was wearing a simple white dress. Her black hair hung down from one side, soft and soft, and her skin became more and more like frost and snow. She felt Li Wenqing's gaze towards her. , smiled slightly, nodded and dealt with Li Wenqing.
Li Wenqing also smiled and said hello.
If I am right, the people who come to the Xunzhen Platform may be the two of them who are alchemy cultivators.
After Li Wenqing and Xu Jing said hello, they immediately stopped smiling, straightened their posture, and waited quietly.
Not long after, the sound of bells and drums was heard from the sky. After a while, a ray of light opened up the clouds, a startling rainbow penetrated down, and a treasure car emerged from the red clouds. It supported a seven-treasure canopy and hung pearls. A real person sat inside, and the clouds on the top door were as bright as water.
After this real person came to the truth-seeking platform, he found his own six-story high platform and sat down calmly. The next moment, a huge Qi machine soared into the sky and unfolded, carving phoenixes and dragons, and picture clouds. Write the moon, it is upright and bright.
"Zhenren Jing."
Li Wenqing immediately recognized the identity of Zhenren Yuanying. The other party was not only a high-ranking deputy director of the sect's organization, but also a One of the "examiners" for inner disciples to be promoted to true disciples.
A figure like him will definitely not be absent from today's conference.
After Jingzhenren arrived, less than half a quarter of an hour later, another mysterious sound came from mid-air. From top to bottom, an eight-color treasure lotus poured out. There were thousands of golden lights on it, and it held a golden ball of the same size. The wheel rotates from rapid to slow, endlessly. Above the golden wheel, there is another round of spotless white light. In the white light, there is a person sitting upright. His face cannot be seen clearly. Only a handle of jade Ruyi hangs down from the cloud above the top door.
It was another Yuanying Master. After he fell, he collected his magical powers, and like Master Jing, climbed up to the six-story high platform. After sitting down, a cloud appeared on the top door, covering one side.
Next, three more Yuanying masters came to the truth-seeking platform one after another. They all climbed onto the arranged high platform, and their bodies were full of energy.
For a moment, on the truth-seeking stage, the auras of five real Yuanying masters soared into the sky, rising into the air and evolving into golden lanterns, precious umbrellas and jade lamps, startling dragons and phoenixes, and so on. Wait, to name a few.
The ceiling fell again, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and the scent was like smoke and clouds, filling the entire truth-seeking platform with a feeling of a heavenly palace.
Li Wenqing secretly watched all this with bright eyes. Not only were the five people who came here all real Yuanying, but they were not the kind of dying people who had no hope of a future and only thought about their descendants and family. They were all in high positions and worthy of being called to the door. in the upper echelons.
If an elixir cultivator like himself goes out and can be cheered by and supported by others, each of these five real people will be a well-deserved protagonist when they go out, and everything around them will revolve around them.
But at this moment, on the truth-seeking stage, five real people gathered together, and none of them spoke. They seemed to be supporting characters, waiting for the real protagonist to appear.
Another three quarters of an hour later, there was only a muffled thunder explosion, and then a dazzling fire cloud descended from the sky, like a falling star, dyeing the clear sky with a kind of rouge wherever it went. Color, magnificent.
The next moment, the fire cloud fell to the ground, exploded with a roar, and fire dragons flew one after another, and then spit out beads at the same time, colliding with each other, sparks flying, and countless seal characters were born and destroyed from inside, telling the way of fire. .
When all the firelight disappeared, a tall Taoist priest wearing nine dragons or even robes came out. He waved his sleeves and sat down on the nine-story high platform in the center of the truth-seeking platform. Heaven and earth turned into flames.
This kind of momentum is unmatched by the five Nascent Soul Masters who just came here, because every move of the visitors is blessed by the mighty power of heaven and earth, and the atmosphere is myriad.
Those with this kind of momentum can only be the top figures of the True Sect, the pure beings in the door.
"Xuanyuan Zhenren, the most truly clear and pure eight-pole cave."
Li Wenqing felt the majestic power of heaven on the nine-story high platform, and his face was full of excitement.
Even though he is an alchemy cultivator, he has a good prospect in the sect, but if he hadn't come to the Truth-Seeking Platform today, he would never have met someone like Master Xuanyuan.
After all, cave heaven beings like Master Xuanyuan spend many years in retreat, and even if they are not in retreat, they live in their own cave heaven, forming a world of their own that cannot be seen by outsiders.
Master Xuanyuan was sitting on the nine-story high platform, condescending, his voice was like thunder in the nine heavens, containing majesty, and said: "The promotion date for this generation of true disciples is approaching, and this matter is related to the sect. Inheritance..."
Li Wenqing listened attentively and didn't miss a word.
In less than a cup of tea, Master Xuanyuan finished what he needed to say. After he finished speaking, he did not stop. Together with his Dharmakaya, the fireworks soared into the sky and returned to his cave.
As Master Xuanyuan left, the five Masters of Yuanying on the truth-seeking stage talked quietly for a while and then left one after another, all with very solemn expressions.
Li Wenqing followed behind, lowering his head and carefully covering the strange color in his eyes.
As a participant, he certainly knew why the five Nascent Soul Masters were acting like this.
Dongzhenren Master Xuanyuan came here and held a meeting with great fanfare on the truth-seeking stage. He warned all the "examiners" that the competition for the true disciples of this year will be decided soon. Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half-ninety, and we must not relax until the final outcome is reached.
At the same time, it is also telling everyone that the promotion of each inner disciple to the true successor is really a matter of great concern and involves a lot of people. It must be fair, just and open, and no mistakes are allowed.
If there is any mistake, the five "examiners", five real people with high positions in the Zhenyi Sect, will be severely punished.
Li Wenqing took a deep breath, and the Dansha energy behind him spread out, moving like the wind.
As far as he knows, no one has ever dared to violate the sect's rules and tamper with the promotion of the True Successor. But even so, Master Xuanyuan came out of the cave, summoned all the "examiners", and repeatedly stressed that he had the intention of guarding against the slightest possibility.
True disciples are so important and crucial.
Li Wenqing returned to his residence thinking about something.
Inside, the tables, desks and bookshelves were fully stocked, and the vase of flowers on the high table exuded a faint fragrance. He flicked the flame of the lamp on the bronze lamp, and the fluttering lanterns danced, illuminating the surrounding area.
He sat down, picked up a jade volume on the case, and looked through the contents. He stared at the names above with deep eyes, wondering who would have the last laugh and become one of the three true successors in the sect.
Looking at it, Li Wenqing unknowingly stopped at a name, motionless, his face full of contemplation. Apart from him, compared to others, this one has gained the most momentum in the sect recently, and people can't help but pay attention to it.
What's more, although he is currently at the top of the list and seems to have the greatest hope of being promoted to the true successor, his shortcomings are extremely prominent compared to other competitors in terms of merit.
Faintly, there is a kind of deviant approach that is different from others.
Such "others" attract more attention than the orthodox true disciple competitors.
"Difficult."
Li Wenqing was originally working in Gongde Academy. Just thinking about it, he realized that it was really difficult for Zhou Qing to make up for the shortcomings of Gongde. .
After all, the deadline for the sect to determine the true inheritance is getting closer and closer, and there is simply not enough time for Zhou Qing to accumulate merit step by step.
"Unless,"
Li Wenqing thought of a possibility and immediately smiled, it was unlikely.
No matter how powerful Zhou Qing is, he is only a monk in the realm of Qi refining. He has just entered Soul Condensation not long ago and is still in the sect. How can he achieve such great achievements?
Impossible, impossible.
Li Wenqing sat for a while and received a letter, so he got up, packed up, and went to Gongdeyuan for a shift change.
In the inner hall of Gongdeyuan, as soon as you entered, a large swath of golden light rushed over, dyeing your whole person golden.
It turns out that in the inner hall, there were copper pillars erected one after another, each one covered with golden patterns, making a rustling sound.
In the center of the copper pillar, a high platform is raised, with a jade table placed on it. Behind the jade table, on a wooden couch, sits a middle-aged man with an evil spirit rising from his body, like a dragon or a tiger, making a roaring sound. sound.
"Elder Du."
Li Wenqing came in and took the lead in greeting the middle-aged man on the high platform.
Although both of them are alchemy cultivators, Elder Du has not only been cultivating Taoism for a long time, he has also been in Gongde Court for a long time and has a deep foundation.
“Haha, Elder Li is here.”
Seeing Li Wenqing, Elder Du, a middle-aged man on the high platform, laughed with a cheerful smile and a friendly attitude.
Li Wenqing doesn’t want to offend him, and he will not offend Li Wenqing either.
Because he knew that his colleague Li Wenqing was extremely talented and had the possibility of being promoted to Nascent Soul. He also had an extraordinary background and was a new star rising at an astonishing rate in the Gongde Academy.
The two talked happily for a while, then Elder Du left, and Li Wenqing went up to the high platform, sat down on the cloud couch behind the jade table, lowered his eyelids, and read through the tasks recently issued by the Gongde Court.
Li Wenqing looked at the task book with a strange light in his eyes.
In the recent tasks released by Gongdeyuan, the tasks at the Qi refining level have been completed very quickly. This is the battle for the true inheritance. Everyone who is interested in the true inheritance is working hard. And in the Merit Courtyard, complete tasks and accumulate merits in the sect. The more, the better.
After a while, Li Wenqing went over the recent tasks and confirmed one thing: Zhou Qing has not been to Gongdeyuan recently, nor has he accepted any tasks from Gongdeyuan.
“Are you ready to give up your merits completely?”
Li Wenqing's eyes were dark. Merit was only one item in the assessment for promotion to the True Successor. If the others were particularly outstanding and far exceeded other competitors, it would not be impossible to make up for the shortcomings in merit.
But there is no doubt that this is a deviant approach to the end, and it is very risky compared to the "orthodox" way of upright promotion to the True Inheritance.
At this time, the Taoist boy with a bun hanging from outside came in, stood at the door, and reported: "Elder Li, there is someone outside who may need the elder to see him."
"Oh."< br>
Li Wenqing looked over and said nothing.
"The person coming is Zhou Qing." The little Taoist boy with hanging bun said immediately, "He is outside."
"Zhou Qing."
When Li Wenqing heard this, he immediately sat up straight and There was a look of surprise on his face. The other party coming to Gongdeyuan at this time must be for "merit", but what exactly is it?
“Let him in.”
Li Wenqing changed his mind and told the Taoist boy to lead the people in.
Zhou Qing is now very famous in the sect, but Li Wenqing and the other party are not in the same camp and have no friendship, so they will not go out to greet him.
Unless the other party is promoted to a true disciple and becomes a true disciple, it will be different.
It was not long before footsteps could be heard outside. Li Wenqing raised his head and saw a Taoist boy leading a young man in who was bright and handsome. At first glance, he could see that he had a different kind of brilliance than ordinary people.
"Zhou Qing."
Li Wenqing recognized him immediately. Although this was the first time he met the other person, he had seen the other person's video information countless times.
"Elder Li."
Zhou Qing came to the main hall and saluted Li Wenqing on the stage.
He had done his homework before coming to Gongde Courtyard and knew that there were two alchemy monks stationed here, an older Elder Du and a younger Elder Li.
Looking at it now, Elder Li is on duty.
But Zhou Qing didn't care. He came to the courtyard and acted according to the rules, just like anyone else.
Li Wenqing didn't have any pleasantries, so he got straight to the point and got to the point, saying: "Zhou Qing, what do you want to do when you come here?"
Zhou Qing stood up straight and replied: "I'm working in Tongbaizhou. I came to the hospital to ask Elder Li to take a look at something and ask if he could give me some merit.”
