When Jing Yue looked back, the man who spoke was dressed in purple, with normal eyebrows and even a little honest, but his demeanor was arrogant.
As soon as Zheng Bai saw the other party, his expression immediately turned cold, "It turns out that it is fellow Daoist An."
The man in purple raised his thick eyebrows, looking like a wriggling caterpillar. He smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked, "Daoyou Zheng also wants to enter the Nine Heavens Academy? But the disciple recommended by the Cold Cloud Sect?"
Zheng Bai's expression became stagnant. He relied on his family to help him get a letter of recommendation.
Zheng Bai, who was stepped on the sore spot, said gruffly, "No!"
"Oh~~~"
The man in purple didn't ask which question Zheng Bai answered with "no", but the word "oh" was quite intriguing. Combined with his "it's true" expression, Zheng Bai's face lit up. burn up.
"Zheng Bai, this is..."
Jing Yue suddenly made a sound, and the man in purple finally noticed him, seeing that he was just a kid who had just established his foundation, but he was born very beautiful. He subconsciously showed an evil and charming smile, but found that Zheng Bai's expression instantly became respectful, "Back to the ancestors, he is An Wenxing, a disciple of the Zixia School."
An Wenxing's pupils shrank, and his heart skipped half a beat.
Everyone knows that the Cold Cloud Sect has a "Children's Ancestor". Although it is not clear how old he is, in short, he is very young! Is it this one
But he immediately relaxed, because the other party's cultivation base was not as good as him.
Some people are like that, and when they've always been intimidated by someone but stumbled upon the other person, they turn that gap into contempt or even anger.
An Wenxing is not angry, but there is contempt.
But then he thought about it, this little old ancestor had already built a foundation at a young age, which can be said to be very powerful, so he froze in his heart and respectfully said, "Meet the old ancestor."
"Well." Jing Yue replied lightly, "Are you recommended by the Zixia School?"
An Wenxing has a bright face, "Exactly."
Jing Yue used his divine sense to probe and boasted: "You are less than a hundred years old, but you are already in the middle stage of foundation building. You are really amazing."
Surprise flashed in An Wenxing's eyes, and his heart was worthy of being the ancestor. My realm is higher than his, but he can know my cultivation base and bone age, and most of my body has secret treasures.
"Don't dare, Wen Xing has been training his body for ten years and practicing Qi for more than 30 years. Now he has just stepped into the middle ground of foundation building after 40 years. It's really not that powerful."
Although An Wenxing's tone was modest, he showed off his words inside and out.
Jing Yue nodded slightly and said to Zheng Bai, "You are the same age as Daoyou An, and you are in the same realm. Why can others get recommendations from the door, but you can only rely on your family to prepare letters of recommendation for you? It's too disappointing!"
An Wenxing smiled reservedly, but saw Zheng Bai's bitter face and said: "Old Ancestor, Hanyun Sect is the leader of the world's dharma cultivation, and the talents in the sect are as numerous as the sea of stars, as dull as I am, how can they be qualified Got a recommendation from the door?"
Jing Yue: "That's right."
The two of them sang and made Lan Feng flutter their wings and shouted "Tweet Tweet", but An Wenxing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew in his heart that Jingyue was playing tricks, but the identity of the other party was there, he had to explain a few words awkwardly, and then left in a hurry.
After they left, Jing Yue asked Zheng Bai, "Is he at odds with you?"
Zheng Bai: "Isn't it because he lost one place to him in the last bamboo-pointing competition, we are both ranked after tens of thousands, what does he have to be proud of?"
Jing Yue had previously learned from the Zongmen papers that the Bamboo Pointing Conference was a competition between monks in the Foundation Establishment period.
It is recorded in the paper that there is a sky bamboo in the Qingzhu Zhai of the Fuxiu sect in Xia Nanzhou.
The monks who participated in the competition will climb the Tianzhu together. The first person to reach the top and pick the bamboo core is called the person who points the bamboo, and can receive a generous gift prepared by Qingzhuzhai.
And the cultivators who performed well in every Dianzhu conference were almost able to occupy a place on the Fei Xian Ranking.
But... tens of thousands later...? As for An Wenxing
Jing Yue asked suspiciously, "Just like that?"
"...Also, he is a member of the Zixia sect." Zheng Bai hesitated a little, and tentatively said: "The ancestors know that the Zixia sect was inherited from the Zixiao Palace, the great sect before the demon calamity, and now there are three returning elders in the sect. Ancestor is in charge, and there are even more talented juniors like Chao Yu. Chao Zhenren has only cultivated the Tao for one hundred and forty years, and he has already formed elixir, which is not worse than that of Qin Zhenjun back then.”
"so what?"
Zheng Bai seemed a little embarrassed, and hesitantly said: "I, our Cold Cloud Sect is the first Fa Xiu, but these young talents were born, not to mention the amazing people like Qin Zhenjun and Chao Zhenren. And Yiye Patriarch His life-"
Zheng Bai suddenly shut up, his face turned pale, and he timidly covetted Jingyue.
The latter sighed, where did he not understand his unfinished words
Today, the Frost Cloud Sect relies on one leaf to frighten all the sects, but the lifespan of one leaf is not more than a thousand years, and the ancestors of the sect have no more people than the Zixia sect, and the younger disciples are not as promising as the Zixia sect.
Cold Cloud Sect's decline has already appeared, but Zixia Sect is just like the rising sun, and it is inevitable that they are ready to move.
-over thinking.
In this regard, Jingyue has only three words of truth.
As early as when he pretended to be Jingshan to infiltrate the inner door, he knew that Zixia was hostile to the Cold Cloud Sect. If the Cold Cloud Sect continues to decay like this, perhaps the Zixia Sect may come to the fore after a thousand years.
But only possible.
It is extremely difficult to return to the virtual world, not to mention that there are only three people in the Zixia sect, even if it is thousands of returning to the virtual cultivator, who dares to say that they will definitely be able to break through? Or, who can guarantee that the next person to enter the Tribulation Transcendence Period will not be the Liuyun Liufeng of the Cold Cloud Sect
What's more, now that the Cold Cloud Sect has changed a lot, the sect has a vitality and is prospering, and he has supplemented the cultivation method and pill recipe. This Zixia pie is too happy too early!
"Do you know what people call me outside?"
Jing Yue suddenly asked a question, but Zheng Bai was stunned by the question.
"They all call me Xiao'er Old Ancestor."
Zheng Bai said in a hurry, "Old Ancestor, that's all the nonsense of ignorant rats outside!"
Jing Yue smiled disapprovingly: "But they also call me a Dali Sect, don't they?"
Zheng Bai was startled, then grinned.
Yes! The old ancestor has not yet turned eighteen, but he has already established the foundation. Maybe he will be able to form an elixir in a hundred years. By then, let alone Chao Zhenren, even Qin Zhenjun will not be able to climb high!
Besides, since he is a member of the Dali sect, he might be able to benefit one or two more from returning to the emptiness and transcending the calamity...
The more Zheng Bai thought about it, the more confident he became, and he said loudly: "I understand! With the ancestors here, my ancestors will be blessed with a shining star, and I will be able to live a long and long life with the sky. How can a cat or a dog be provocative?"
Jing Yue reluctantly praised: "...Excellent comprehension ability."
They strolled around until it was dusk, and finally waited for Elder Wang.
The local tyrant waved his hand and took everyone to the most expensive inn in Lecheng. It was still a room per person, which was extremely extravagant.
Silent all night.
The next day, Han Yunzong and his party arrived at the foot of Jiutian Mountain early.
Jiutian Mountain has nine peaks connected together, with strange peaks and strange rocks, winding and steep. The two sides of the first peak mountain road are full of green bamboos. When the wind comes, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the bamboo forest undulates and stretches like Biyun Taotao.
Walking on the mountain road, Jingyue saw many monks, both men and women, of different ages, some of whom even had gray hair and vicissitudes on their faces.
"Huh? He's here again."
Jingyue followed Elder Wang's gaze, saw an old man with white hair and beard, and asked, "Who is he?"
"It's a loose cultivator. I saw him last time when I brought my disciples up the mountain. I heard that he was dying, but he never found the chance to form a pill, so I wanted to come to Jiutian Academy to try it out. I have taken the test seven or eight times, but I can't pass it, and I don't know where he got so many letters of recommendation?"
Jing Yue was a little surprised. He couldn't help thinking of the mortal imperial examinations. How many students went from young to old but still had their wishes unfulfilled? He shook his head and said: "This person's obsession has become a demon, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
When I was halfway up the mountain, I saw a boundary stone with four big characters of Jiutian Academy engraved on it, and a line of small characters on the side.
"The mountain of books has the road and diligence as the path, and the sea of learning has no end to work hard." Jing Yue followed and said, and praised it in his heart.
Elder Wang said with a smile: "This sentence was written by Luo Zhenjun, the founder of Jiutian Academy, and now it has become a famous academic saying for mortal students."
"Fuck!" Lan Feng hummed dissatisfiedly: "This sentence is obviously copied. The original author is a literati named Han Yu in a small world. The whole article can be long."
It paused and said again: "But Jiji will never forget it. If Jingjing promises to tell you your seven habits, I will recite it to you."
"Do not listen."
Lan Feng: "..."
After passing the boundary stone, even if you enter the enchantment of Jiutian Academy.
Just looking at the scenery seems to be the same as before, the mountain peak is still the same mountain, and the bamboo forest is still the same bamboo forest, but many people who traveled with Jingyue exclaimed in amazement.
I saw a long step extending to the end of the extreme eye, as if catching the clouds and leading the sun, unattainable.
There is clear water running down the stone steps, as if coming from the sky, and a few bamboo leaves float on the water, full of poetry.
Someone asked in surprise: "How does this stone step move up on its own?"
"I heard before that the stone steps of Jiutian Academy are different. It seems to be some kind of organ maintained by spiritual stones. As long as people stand on top, they can reach the top of the mountain without doing anything."
"The last time I came here, a senior brother said that this stone stair has a name, it is called the ladder to the sky, and it also means to send you up the sky and move thousands of miles."
"Then how do you go down the mountain?"
"The way down the mountain is on another peak. It's like this, but the direction of movement is changed."
…
Everyone chatted in full swing, Lan Feng pecked at the hair with disdain, isn't it the elevator? If you don't know it, it's very indifferent to see our scene.
However, the next moment, it heard Jingyue praise with interest: "Jiutian Academy is really interesting!"
Lan Feng: "..."
Climbing the ladder will send everyone to the front of the peak.
As soon as you enter the mountain gate, your eyes are suddenly enlightened. The vast platform cannot see the boundaries at a glance, and the vision is blocked by clouds and mists.
There is a pool of water in the center of the platform. There is a stone statue in the pool. It looks like a handsome young man. He has a Buddha dust in his left hand and a treasure bottle in his right. The mouth of the bottle is slightly inclined. From the crystal clear water droplets.
Most of this stone statue is the founder Luo Zhenjun.
... very stinky, Jing Yue secretly said.
"Wow! How majestic!!" Lan Feng suddenly became energetic, "Jingjing! Jingjing! Would you like your Cold Cloud Sect to stand up as well? The shape is that of Jing Yuan Daozu standing on the back of a blue phoenix! No! , don't, Jiji hasn't grown up yet, others can't tell it's me, just, let's change it to Jing Yuan Daozu holding Xiao Lanfeng, or Xiao Lanfeng standing on his head!"
"not good."
"Why?!"
"Jingyuan Daozu didn't have any blue phoenix at that time."
"But now you have Jiji!"
"I don't like being surrounded by people, even stone statues."
Lan Feng said unhappily: "Since that's the case, I'm not forcing you, then you can give Jiji a stand!"
"I don't, Cold Cloud Sect is not a beast castle."
Lan Feng cried.
At this time, a lot of people have gathered on the platform, some of them are surrounded by the open space on the left, where two three-foot-long cases are arranged. What do you mean
Jing Yue: "The people at the pool are also doing the assessment?"
Elder Wang: "Exactly. Jiutian Academy does not look at spiritual roots, but only tests understanding and state of mind. Those monks are testing their state of mind."
"How to test?"
As soon as the words fell, Jingyue saw a cultivator throw something into the pool, and then sat down like someone else, mumbling something in his mouth.
Jing Yue was surprised: "What is he doing?"
Elder Wang: "It is rumored that there is a custom in Luo Zhenjun's hometown. As long as you make a wish by throwing a spiritual stone into the pool, most of your wishes will come true."
Jing Yue couldn't help laughing and said, "A cultivator is nothing more than seeking longevity and transcending the way of heaven. If it can be so simple and everything can come true, what else do you and I cultivate?"
Elder Wang also smiled, but said, "But the cultivator did not cast a spirit stone, but a lotus seed."
He pointed to somewhere by the pool, and Jingyue saw a Jindan real person giving out kits to the monks.
"Are the lotus seeds in the bag?"
"Yes. On the lotus seed is engraved the unique magic circle of Jiutian Academy. The cultivator throws it into the pool. If the lotus seed can bloom, it will be considered a state of mind."
Elder Wang grinned: "The purer the color of the lotus, the higher the mood."
Suddenly, a pink lotus bloomed in the pond, and with the fragrance of the lotus overflowing, a female cultivator sitting by the pond opened her eyes.
"Ah! The flowers are blooming!" The female cultivator couldn't hide her excitement, and the other cultivators who were waiting to get the lotus seeds looked at her enviously.
Jing Yue patted his palm lightly and praised: "What a Luo Zhenjun, what a Jiutian Academy."
After a while he asked again, "How is comprehension assessed?"
"You can ask the few Jindan real people on the left to apply for a signature. Each signature is engraved with words. The cultivator puts in his consciousness to sense the handwriting on the signature. Those who understand Huangjie exercises must be excellent, and those who can understand Xuanjie and above are geniuses, but for thousands of years, very few people have realized Xuanjie exercises."
Elder Wang's tone suddenly became a little excited, "More than 800 years ago, Qin Zhenjun of Wanming Sword Sect realized the prototype of Tianjie Gongfa Dao Yijianshu here, and since then he has become famous and soared into the sky."
Jing Yue nodded thoughtfully, "Qin Zhenjun is indeed amazing."
At this time, a tall and thin cultivator came to Jingyue and said respectfully, "Disciple He Han, pay homage to the ancestor."
Jing Yue was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Are you a disciple of the Cold Cloud Sect? Are you studying in the academy?"
He Han replied, "Yes, the disciples are here to welcome the ancestors, the elders Wang, and all the fellow disciples."
Elder Wang: "This time, there are seven disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect who need to be admitted to the hospital. He Han, please take them there."
He then said to the other disciples who had nominations: "You can come with me now."
After that, he bowed his hands to Jing Yue: "Ancestor, please."
Jing Yue originally wanted to stay and see the situation of the Cold Cloud Sect's disciples' assessment, but thought that he would be able to inquire about it later, so he had no objection.
Unexpectedly, they just walked two steps when they heard someone making a noise.
"It is clear that the lotus flower has opened, and the exercises have been enlightened, why don't you let me enter the academy?"
Jing Yue stopped to look and saw a young cultivator confronting Jin Dan Zhenren, the latter said: "Although the lotus flower is open, its color is not pure, and although the exercise method is understood, it is only the lowest-level stone-pointing technique. Comprehensive assessment Your comprehension and state of mind are medium, so you won't pass."
The young cultivator's face flushed with anger, and he stubbornly said, "If you say medium, it means medium? Who knows if you are blocking me on purpose?"
He suddenly pointed at Jing Yue and his party, "What about them? It looks like they want to go straight to the academy, right? The assessment of the Nine Heavens Academy is useless to the big sect, how can it be fair?! The Cultivator's Blessed Land is actually nothing more than a dog raised by a large group of people!"
Jingyue: "..."
He was also shot while lying down.
