At this time, a group of disciples gradually arrived, and then there were puppets transformed by magic to guide them into position.
These dolls were cast by an elder who practices Liuding Liujia in the sect. Although they are not as good as the external incarnation, they can still handle some simple things. Because the raw material is Yin jade, they have some soul power. It seems that A bit human, too.
If you can get some inspiration, you can look like the legendary yellow scarf warriors and heavenly soldiers.
Yan Bugui also played his part in the Taoist test. He was proficient in the Tao of Talisman, so he made many paper talismans and turned them into countless spiritual birds. The fairy aura floated and filled the cloud platform, which was quite the style of an immortal family.
Around the center of the cloud platform, towers appeared, and everyone occupied one according to their respective branches. These towers are connected to each other and form a Taoist taboo, which surrounds the center of the cloud platform. In this way, the disciples' fighting will not affect the surroundings.
On each tower, there are many people who come from the same lineage, and there are also some who are alone.
Moreover, not every disciple has a master. Since the Battle of Yanxu, many branches have lost their lineage. Therefore, some close sect members have survived and assigned their disciples to the annihilated branch. This can be regarded as an explanation for those sect members who died in vain. .
In fact, the branches of Qingxuan are not strictly divided. Generally speaking, people in this branch major in one of the 108 methods of Qingxuan.
As for those geniuses who can practice several Taoist secrets or even ten Taoist secrets at the same time, they are only a few after all.
The reason why there are branch lines is actually so that disciples who practice the same Taoist formula can communicate with each other easily, and at the same time leave their practice experience to benefit future generations.
Since the establishment of the One Hundred and Eight Methods, a lot of content has been added and deleted, but overall it is progressive and perfect.
The most precious wealth of each branch is that the evolution of the Tao Jue from the first to the current Tao Jue can be followed, and it also represents a complete inheritance. This is something that Taiwei Pavilion cannot record.
Often the more people and longer the lineage of inheritance is, the more likely there will be masters who can enter the Tao and return the elixir. For no other reason than the collective wisdom of everyone and the cultivation of future generations, they can stand on the shoulders of their predecessors.
Tao techniques such as Taixu Shence are indeed earth-shattering, but if there are no geniuses to inherit them, the inheritance may end one day.
There is a balcony in the east, where Shen Lian is, with Ruoxi beside him.
The other disciples saw that some people thought that practicing diligently was not as good as being reborn in a good pregnancy.
Gu Caiwei stepped into the void with a leisurely gait, and said Ruoxi: "Aunt Caiwei."
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "Xi'er, I heard that you are going to take the Taoist test. Are you sure you will get the first place?"
Ruoxi put her hands behind her back, raised her head and said proudly: "Aunt Caiwei, if you have any disciples you know well, please tell me. If we meet, I will keep your hand."
Gu Caiwei pointed at Shen Lian and said, "It's true that you are from the Shen family."
Shen Lian touched Ruoxi's head and said, "Kid, you are just talking big words. You are still not sure about one of these disciples."
Ruoxi stretched out her little hand as white as a lotus root, pointed at Qiu Shi, and said, "He is no match for me either."
Qiu Shi, who was alone on the first floor, felt something in his heart. He happened to look at Ruoxi pointing at her. Although he didn't understand the meaning, he still smiled in return.
Gu Caiwei was slightly surprised and said in amazement: "How come this kid has changed so much and his spiritual sense is so sharp?"
Shen Lian said leisurely: "Everyone has his own destiny."
Gu Caiwei said: "When I looked at Zhao Xiaozi and Senior Brother Yu's disciples before, I thought he was also an outstanding person of their generation. I didn't expect that this guy would come from behind. I couldn't believe it."
Shen Lian said: "Everyone who enters the Tao has his own predestined method, how can we generalize it? In the past, I only thought that relying on my own Vajra Heart, breaking through the threshold of the Tao, and returning the elixir to become the right way, is the right way. Now that I think about it carefully, I am a little biased. I have to go through that. There is no difference between a river, whether it is a bridge, a boat or a river crossing. If you cross it, you will cross it. There is no end to the road, and there is no way to reach the end directly. The Taoist should be inclusive, so that he can continue to make progress. , I would like to share this with my senior sister.”
Gu Caiwei knew what Shen Lian said, but she would never feel this way unless she reached this level.
At the same time, he was even more shocked by one thing. The implication of Shen Lian's words was that he might have a new understanding of Taixu Dharma and want to find another strange way.
This so-called acquisition of the Dharma without being bound by the Dharma is indeed a wonderful thing, but the dangers in it are probably even more serious than breaking one's merits and rebuilding one's cultivation.
But she also knew that Shen Lian had to be inclusive and take an unprecedented path, which was what suited his temperament. She was worried, but she couldn't express it for fear that her words might turn out to be a prophecy.
Shen Lian did not pay attention to Gu Caiwei's thoughts.
There are a total of 128 people participating in the Taoist test this time, and they are all the essence of Qingxuan. Hundreds of years later, some of them became the backbone of Qingxuan.
Shen Lian pointed lightly, and colorful lights appeared in the center of the cloud platform.
The colorful light dissipated, the white clouds solidified, and a cover of watery brilliance appeared.
The two disciples whose names were called were called into the middle field and began to fight.
Ge Yuan and Lu Shouyi occupied the north and south respectively, staying out of the glory. If there was an emergency, they could also lend a helping hand.
Unless Shen Lian didn't want to set up more venues and let multiple disciples fight separately to shorten the time. In fact, he wanted to bring these Taoist examination disciples into the public eye, create a bit of tension, and at the same time let a group of elders comment on their fighting skills and submit their own opinions. Afterwards, he could show it to the disciples participating in the Taoist examination to let them know. Even if it is sufficient, it is also aware of its shortcomings.
After the matter was told to the elders, they were all impressed by the profound intentions of the religious leader.
The Taoist examination is not only to select the best disciples, but also to give ordinary disciples the opportunity to better observe their strengths and weaknesses under the scrutiny of their elders, and inform them to help their future practice.
At the beginning, there were sixty-four pairs of disciples who wanted to fight, which took a lot of time, and it took a full ten days.
Wait until the second round, five days before giving up.
By the 18th, three rounds had passed, and a total of sixteen disciples were left.
At this time, there was a truly tense atmosphere, because as long as you defeated another disciple, you could get the reward from the leader.
Ruoxi was outstanding in the three rounds of fighting, just because the three opponents were all favorites to enter the top eight and had practiced for more than fifty years. They were at their peak, but the three of them fell to the ground after she only glanced at them.
Not only did he fail quickly, he couldn't even figure out how he failed, let alone sum up afterwards.
At first, some elders thought that Ruoxi had obtained the true inheritance of Shen Lian's Divine Sword, and some blamed her for being so ruthless. When they found out that the defeated disciple was unharmed, they realized that they had wrongly blamed Ruoxi, but they could not figure out what Ruoxi used. What kind of means.
Another person who is as eye-catching as Ruoxi is Qiu Shi. This person always fights with his opponent for a long time until he exhausts all means before defeating his opponent.
Afterward, he told his opponent about his shortcomings.
But now Shoujing has no time to think about Ruoxi and Qiu Shi, because his next opponent is none other than Zhao Siming. He can't help but curse secretly. He just needs to be in the top eight. Why is he so unlucky? It's all because of this Dao test system. question.
