Chapter 155: The Seal of the Chief Master of the List
Ye Chen stayed for a while and stood up to leave.
Zhou Qing stood in front of the pavilion. It was noon outside, and the sun was shining across the sky. The bright sun fell from time to time. When it reached the water, there was a boom, and it instantly turned into a bright light, filling the waves.
There is not a trace of darkness in the whole place. There is an indescribable freshness that makes people feel happy.
Great times, bright future.
Zhou Qing thought about the conversation he had with Ye Chen just now. Although the other party didn't know everything about it, the person behind him could let him send good news, so he had to remember him as a favor.
"Gongdeyuan."
Zhou Qing turned his eyes and told the maids around him to prepare the chariot before he went out.
Not long, I just heard the clear sound of a jade chime above Denglong Qi Mansion, and then the startling rainbow unfolded, and further up, the white air was like a lotus, holding up a cloud chariot, with Zhou Qing sitting on it Under the canopy and precious umbrella, after identifying the direction, we walked towards Gongdeyuan.
No words were spoken on the way, and we arrived at the main entrance of Gongdeyuan smoothly.
He was sitting on the cloud chariot, and saw from time to time a startling rainbow and flying cranes outside. The bright light of the cloud chariot hung upside down like a horse, condensing and not dissipating. Faintly, spiritual texts fell everywhere, spreading freely, and the fragrance filled the air wherever they went.
Many people, either wearing cassocks or wearing long swords, are walking on the mountain roads and steps, with calm postures and clear faces.
There is a feeling of hustle and bustle and traffic.
"So lively?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at it for a few times, then got off the cloud cart, came inside, pulled a little Taoist boy over, and asked, "Is Elder Zhou Kuan Zhou in the courtyard?"< br>
"Elder Zhou?" When the little Taoist boy heard this, he was startled at first, and then looked at Zhou Qing. He saw that the young man in front of him was dressed in rich clothes, his eyes were like paint, deep and calm, and he had a smile on his face. Naturally, there was something about him. He is calm and has the demeanor of a child of aristocratic family.
"Could it be that he is a member of Elder Zhou's tribe?" The little Taoist boy made a guess, and quickly said politely: "Elder Zhou is in Ziyan Pavilion, please follow me."
The two of them passed the front hall one after the other. , and then go around Hongqiao.
I saw in front of me a large area of purple auspicious smoke, emerging from the Danjing, and then the wind blew, like the sound of a flute, curling up, bypassing the railing, and fluttering against the small window with hollow patterns. , rustling.
Three or five small white cranes the size of fists, holding up their chubby little wings, are running around and making childish calls. But some were running too fast, and accidentally fell to the ground, rolling into a little white and fat ball.
The little Taoist boy who led the way saw Zhou Qing looking at the fat white crane that had rolled at his feet with interest, unwilling to get up and still rolling around. He couldn't help but touched his nose and said: "The little crane that Elder Zhou specially raised is said to be energetic."
"That's true."
Zhou Qing nodded, thoughtfully.
At this time, the door of Ziyan Pavilion just opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of it. He was wearing a moon-white long sleeved coat with crane patterns embroidered on it. He was not the kind of person who would stay in the pines and drink in the springs. The big crane, instead, is the quirky little crane, which is all round and vivid, making his eyes even clearer.
"Elder Zhou." The little Taoist boy recognized the person and hurriedly stepped forward, then pointed at Zhou Qing and said, "Someone is looking for you."
"Oh." Zhou Kuan glanced at , caught a glimpse of the small seal tied around Zhou Qing's waist, the sparse streams of light were hanging down, big and small, constantly changing, there was a kind of endlessness, he immediately recognized the identity of the direct descendant of the Zhou family in Luochuan, and thought He turned around and said with a smile: "Is it Zhou Qing?"
"I've met Elder Zhou."
Zhou Qing took a step forward and saluted.
"Talk inside."
Zhou Kuan, the elder of Gongdeyuan, did not go out. He called Zhou Qing into the pavilion and talked to him cheerfully.
Zhou Qing also smiled and exchanged greetings.
While he was talking, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Zhou Kuan, who was sitting opposite him, was indeed in a good mood, and his whole body was filled with a kind of vitality, which made him marvel.
He knew that although Zhou Kuan had completed his elixir transformation, he had already lost hope of further progress due to the misfortunes he had suffered outside.
The Luochuan Zhou family placed him in the Merit Courtyard, mainly to do things for the family, and also to allow him to accumulate merits in the clan, so that when the time came to reincarnate, it would be convenient for the clan to send someone to pick him up.
Such people are found in all major aristocratic families, and they are usually despairing. Even when doing things, he is still in a sluggish mood, "being a monk every day and clocking the clock every day". It is really rare to find someone as energetic as Zhou Kuan in front of him.
Everyone has his own life. Zhou Qing keeps it in his heart as an experience and an accumulation.
After talking for a while, Zhou Qing stepped into the topic and asked about the Gongdeyuan.
“This,” Zhou Kuan is indeed a generous elder who always answers all questions. He is holding a tea cup, the water vapor is rising, and the haze is misty. He speaks unhurriedly, “The nearest person in the courtyard is The tasks passed very quickly, and everyone was very active, so the flow of people was indeed more than before."
Speaking of this, Zhou Kuan glanced at Zhou Qing and said: "The deadline for the competition for the true inheritance is right in front of us. , Disciples who are interested in true inheritance, it is more cost-effective to brush up their merits."
Zhou Qing listened and nodded. This situation will happen before the deadline of each sect's true inheritance.
"Elder Zhou." Zhou Qing also drank a cup of tea, thought for a while, and asked something, "I wonder if any of the qi-refining disciples in the sect can achieve gong?"
< br>
"Can Qi-refining disciples gain gong?" Even though Zhou Kuan, a monk at the third level of elixir cultivation, has cultivated Qi very deeply, he couldn't help but be startled when he heard this sentence. He looked at Zhou Qing, then organized his words and spoke slowly Tun Di said: "It's not that there are no qi-refining disciples who have gained the gong, but it is very rare. Anyway, since I came to Gongde Academy, I haven't met any of them."
"It is very difficult to obtain the gong in our sect. , let alone Qi training disciples, even Jindan disciples rely on luck and chance."
"That's it." Zhou Qing was moved, but he didn't say it, but he knew in his heart that he would report it. What happened to Tongbaizhou is at least worthy of merit.
Zhou Kuan was worried that this descendant of his family was so ambitious that he was delaying the things he was doing, so he told the story of the meritorious service in the Gongde Courtyard in as much detail as possible, saying: "In the Gongde Courtyard, anyone who gets the meritorious service will be listed on the list. Public announcement. ”
On the one hand, the reason for posting the list is because the merit is so important, and the public announcement process can be supervised. On the other hand, it is a disguised form of boasting. If you can gain merit, you can set an example so that fellow students can look at it and learn from it.
"Post the list and announce it."
Zhou Qing knew what was going on and his eyes were bright.
After sitting in the pavilion for half an hour, Zhou Qing said goodbye and left.
Zhou Kuan did not stay long and sent it directly to the door. This junior in his clan has reached the sprint period of competing for true disciples. Time is very precious, so he does his best to entertain him anyway.
After Zhou Qing left, there was a deep space above the door above his head. The spiritual ideas from all around poured into it, slowly sinking, and then turned into water color, expanding bigger and bigger, with a kind of icy cold aura. Spread out, leaving a thick layer of frost covering Zhou Zaixi. As he walked, he thought about the conversation with Zhou Kuan, the elder of Gongdeyuan. The more he thought about it, the more he learned about the affairs of Gongdeyuan.
As a direct descendant of the Zhou family in Luochuan, he has a convenient advantage in walking in the sect, and that is that the Zhou family has been inherited for thousands of years and has already deployed personnel in major institutions of the Zhenyi Sect. Even though the Luochuan Zhou family does not have a powerful figure in an institution like Gongdeyuan, the presence of elders like Zhou Kuan can ensure that it is well-informed and not blocked.
Zhou Qing walked a few more steps, and when his eyes moved, he happened to see a man and a woman passing from one side and heading into the main hall.
"It seems..."
Zhou Qing had an impression. Although he had never dealt with either of them, he was no stranger to being a competitor for promotion to True Successor.
Deep in the Gongde Courtyard, there is a large hall.
The ground is paved with carefully polished jade, as smooth as a mirror, showing a kind of transparency. You can faintly see that under the floor tiles, wisps of earth energy come up one after another, as condensed as a lotus flower in full bloom, and the sky A piece of green, just looking at it, is priceless. Further inside, where the lotus flowers gather, there are pillars one after another. Each pillar is different in length and luster. Without exception, they are all engraved with fine and dense seal scripts from top to bottom. As soon as you get closer, you can hear the sound of chanting in an endless stream.
In the main hall, many inner disciples of the Zhenyi Sect came, circling the golden pillars and constantly looking at them. However, their targets were mostly the shorter golden pillars in the palace.
After all, the task they completed was not too difficult, and the merits awarded after completing the task were mainly small merits.
The small merits are displayed on the short pillars in the temple.
The next moment, everyone in the main hall heard a loud noise, and then a golden list was hung on the highest pillar of the main hall. Then, with a surge of inspiration, it transformed into an exquisite bird with a red beak and red feathers thousands of feet tall. They kept chirping, pecking at the left and right sides with their long beaks, and slowly pulled apart.
When the golden list was opened, there were only a few words on it, but each word shone brightly. It looked like stars hanging in the sky, with hexagonal lights hanging down, which was indescribably precious.
"This, this, this is Shang Gong?"
Such a big movement, people in the palace will definitely not miss it, someone shouted out immediately, with a hint of sound in his voice Invigorate.
In Zhenyi Sect, the review of merit is very strict. It's rare to see great achievements.
It is very rare to see it with your own eyes.
"Gonggong."
Li Bixiao had just checked the tasks he had completed and had achieved a small amount of gong. At this time, he noticed movement and suddenly raised his head and looked over.
In his eyes, on top of the treasure pillar, the golden list was completely open. Thousands of red birds on both sides were pecking and flapping their wings. An indescribable mysterious sound sounded. Just hearing it made him feel People feel that there is a kind of vastness above the blue sky. Large swaths of blue clouds covered the gold list, filling the air up and down.
Only by doing the best in the sect can there be such a big movement and such a lively atmosphere.
"Huh?" Li Bixiao watched, and the expression on his face became more and more serious. He stared at the top of the golden pillar and spoke, with a hint of doubt in his voice, saying: "A disciple in the realm of refining Qi Got the gong? "
"Not bad." Xiao Xin walked over. She was wearing a palace dress, with black silk hanging down her back, and a jewel hanging on it. It's like stepping on a flower and being in a dream. It's so beautiful and beautiful. He said in a positive tone: "Look above the treasure pillar, there is a streak of true energy in the sky. It must be a fellow disciple in the realm of Qi refining who has obtained the superior skill."
She often comes to Gongdeyuan, so she knows that in the main hall, there are pillars standing, which look chaotic, but in fact have their own rules. On the golden pillar representing the real person Yuanying, there is a clear and bright cloud. On the pillar of the alchemy monk, the rolling elixir is like polishing. On the pillar of the Qi Refining Realm, the true energy is spread across it, spotless.
“Monks in the realm of Qi refining are awarded superior skills in the Gongde Academy.”
Li Bixiao and Xiao Xin looked at each other, and they could see each other’s shock. They hadn’t seen each other in many years. Appeared?
"It's been so many years."
For some reason, as soon as this thought came to Li Bixiao's mind, he felt his scalp numb and had a bad premonition. He pushed aside the onlookers and grabbed the one Under the pillar that shines brightly.
The pillar looks very tall, rising from the sky, crystal clear, and the waves inside are turbulent, like an underwater world. At some point, golden scales emerged from the inside, swimming upstream from bottom to top, flapping their fins, and the golden color was dazzling. Each koi carp holds a pearl in its mouth. There are seal characters inside the beads, which are connected together and merged into the opened gold list.
The golden list looks brighter and brighter, with a few words in the middle, constantly rotating, showing the merit.
"Zhou Qing, Shang Gong, two."
Li Bixiao stood below and read out the five words on the gold list. He was startled at first, and then his eyes widened. The sword energy above the top door turned white, reflecting the shock on his face.
He really didn’t expect that this fellow qi practitioner who had obtained the superior skills was actually Zhou Qing, and he had obtained two superior techniques!
"How is it possible?"
Xiao Xin followed closely and saw the contents of the gold list. She stepped forward with all her strength. Even the orbs tied with black silk fell to the ground under her exertion. , making a tinkling sound.
Having no time to care about this, she let her black hair hang down like a waterfall and stared at Baozhu without blinking.
According to what she knew, the name on the gold list announced the merit, and the reason for the merit would be announced on the golden pillar. She wanted to take a closer look at how Zhou Qing, a monk in the realm of Qi refining, and herself and others who were competing for the true inheritance, achieved superiority.
“This,”
But Xiao Xin found that on the golden pillar, there were only koi fish swimming around with pearls in their mouths. There was nothing at all about what she wanted to see.
Seeing this abnormal scene, Xiao Xin was not only not happy, but felt cold in her heart. She knew very well that the rules of Gongdeyuan were strict, and when it came to success, they were strictly followed and there would be no mistakes.
At the same time, the people who gathered around were staring at the pillar intently, and they were also curious about the empty content on the pillar.
What earth-shattering deeds did Zhou Qing do and what great achievements did he achieve? Why was he not mentioned at all?
If we don’t mention it, how can we supervise it and ensure fairness and justice?
Everyone held their breath, watching, watching, staring, until finally, a ray of light suddenly appeared from the bottom of the pillar, and then upwards, thousands of seal characters rose up, like the sky. Like stars, it rises slowly. After reaching the top, it suddenly closes and turns into the shape of a lotus. There is a big seal on it, square and full of majesty.
As soon as the big seal came out, the whole palace became quiet.
Only the golden list on the pillar is left, and the words inside become more and more green.
The seal of the leader!
Once this seal is issued, it is equivalent to the president of Gongdeyuan personally endorsing the merits listed on the gold list!
This month of July is a bit busy, so the update time has been changed to ten o'clock in the evening.
