Zou Yan found that the current situation was not quite right.
She was in a quaint, immortal room, wearing a green dress, sitting on a futon, her hands forming a lotus print, as if she was cultivating.
... But didn't she work overtime last night to revise the design draft, and after returning home, she didn't even take a shower and fell asleep on the bed? This hand is too white and tender, not quite like hers. While studying the slender hand on his lap, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
Zou Yan's heart skipped a beat, hesitantly got up, took three breaths of mental preparation, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a big brother who looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a gray-green Taoist robe. He was out of the dust.
Zou Yan: Junior Sister Liao? Master? Bamboo song secluded garden? What's the matter? If it's time travel, why don't you have your own memory, why don't you have a novice guide? what! dying!
"Um... Senior Brother?" Zou Yan asked tentatively.
The eldest brother said very kindly: "Junior sister is nervous? It doesn't matter, Master just told you a few words, go ahead." After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Zou Yan hurriedly called out senior brother again.
The eldest brother had doubts on his face, and Zou Yan bit her head and asked, "Can you take me there?" She didn't even have a map. How could she find the place without anyone taking her? !
The eldest brother didn't have any doubts, and led her over in a very talkative manner.
"Junior Sister Liao, you don't have to worry too much. We Qinggutian are no better than other places, and we don't value those."
Zou Yan followed behind to make a listening gesture, and occasionally nodded after being taught, but her heart was actually full of doubts. What is this, he doesn't understand a word!
There were some disciples who were also wearing Tsing Yi on the road. When they saw them, they would smile and nod their heads. Occasionally, they would say hello to Junior Sister Liao and Senior Brother Su. There is also a shorter boy, wearing more simple robes, called Senior Sister Liao. Zou Yan walked all the way, observing the people and flowers and plants around him that he didn't know at all, and quickly grabbed a few key words in his mind - soul wear, immortality, and sect.
To die, to die, her major is painting, not acting! What should I do now, if I wear it, will I suffer any terrible things!
Without letting her think for too long, Senior Brother Su sent her to a sea of bamboo, motioned her to go in by herself, and left with a show of her robes.
Zou Yan had no choice, so he had to bite the bullet and continue up. He entered a small road in the bamboo sea. Every other section of the road would have a door made of bamboo like an archway. After passing nine in a row, he saw a bamboo door inside small hall.
No plaque. Wait, how can you not hang a plaque? So is this really a bamboo song garden? She wandered outside the door for a while, and someone in the room said, "Ting Yan disciple, why don't you come in."
Oh, here it is. And she can now draw a conclusion that her body, surnamed Liao and Tingyan. Zou Yan walked in and saw a young man in his twenties turned around and looked at her with a kind and loving expression.
Zou Yan: "...Master." So young? true and false
Young man: "It's been three months since I joined the teacher's school, why are you still so restrained? Didn't the teacher say that you are just like my biological daughter, so just treat me as a father, and you don't need to see outsiders."
Zou Yan: "..." Are you serious? You look younger than me, do you say that when you are my father, you are my father
Too many words, too many mistakes, Zou Yan came up with a trick to deal with relatives and elders during the Chinese New Year - laughing. As long as it's not a question that must be answered, it's fine to smile shyly.
Sure enough, the young master didn't say anything wrong, but invited her to sit over and drink tea, and then said in the tone of the head teacher and the students, "I called you over this time, mainly because of the selection in three days, you don't have to worry about everything. Just follow the fate, you are a late entry, your cultivation base is not high, and your seniority is also the lowest, this time the Eight Great Palaces will select outstanding disciples to go, and we Qinggutian just made up the number."
Zou Yan was in a trance, thinking that the head teacher was explaining to her that her test scores were not satisfactory. After listening to it in the fog, the young master finally said: "Three days later, the master will send you off, and you will be ready."
Zou Yan subconsciously glanced at the person's head and felt that there should be a scroll or an exclamation mark there. She felt that this master was like an NPC who gave out quests.
When she followed her memory back to the room where she first woke up, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. He scratched his hair slightly annoyed. No, it's too stressful to pretend to be someone else, I really want to die!
Turning her head inadvertently, she saw a mirror in the corner, Zou Yan was suddenly stunned, then jumped up and touched her face, "Oh my God, what a great beauty! Is this body a fairy, what can she eat to look so beautiful! Well, I can do it, I don't want to die, just live another day to earn a day.
Anyway, I don't know how to go back, so I can only face Liao Tingyan first.
Being Liao Tingyan is actually not difficult, because she quickly found out some basic information from the disciples and children around her. For example, she was recruited by Dongyang Zhenren this year, and she only trained because of her low cultivation. Qi period, is a general qualification of the three spiritual roots.
And she belongs to the largest sect of the righteous path in the cultivation world, the Gengchen Immortal Mansion. It is said that this Gengchen Immortal Mansion is very large, and there are so many disciples that it can form a country of its own. The small vein of her teacher's door is called Qinggutian, which is a branch of a cave in the cave below the first palace of the Eight Great Palaces.
To sum up, she now has a low cultivation base and a low level of seniority, and is a little shrimp in a giant organization.
In addition, she also heard a little gossip. It is said that the reason why her master Dongyang Zhenren accepted her as an apprentice is because she looks exactly like the daughter of Dongyang Zhenren who died decades ago, so Dongyang Zhenren loves Wu Jiwu and treats her this The little apprentice loves her very much, and even the brothers with Qing Gutian are kind to her, and she is the only female disciple in this small branch of Qing Gutian.
Because of this, Liao Tingyan finally knew what the call Master had told her before. Speaking of which, it is related to a major event.
The only major event in Gengchen Immortal Mansion recently was not only the discussion within Gengchen Immortal Mansion, but also attracted the attention of the entire cultivation world.
—The highest-ranking master in their Gengchen Immortal Mansion is about to end the five-hundred-year retreat and leave!
This old ancestor, named Cizang Daojun, was of high rank, one generation older than the current head of Gengchen Immortal Mansion, and he was the master of the head. Not only that, but this ancestor is a double-meaning, double ancestor.
It is said that he is not only high in seniority, but also very special. It has been hundreds of thousands of years since Gengchen Immortal Mansion was founded. The first ancestor who built Gengchen Immortal Mansion was surnamed Sima. Later, every generation in power was surnamed Sima. Hundreds of people rose through the robbery, and most of them were surnamed Sima. The last Sima was Taoist Cizang.
Isn't it a big deal that the ancestors at the top of the food chain have to go out
Because this ancestor is about to leave the customs, a group of top leaders of the sect master, the elders, and the eighth palace masters decided to provide the ancestors with the best quality service. First of all, select some outstanding disciples with good qualifications to serve them in the past. For some reason, this candidate is limited to female disciples, so Liao Tingyan, the only female disciple of Qinggutian who is a new entry, is also on the list.
Liao Tingyan: "..." I'm afraid this is not the emperor's choice of concubine.
On the third day, the young master who looked very young was actually over 300 years old came over and sent her to the selection venue. Only then did Liao Tingyan really see how big Gengchen Immortal Mansion was. Her immediate leadership flew with such a fast magic weapon, and it took at least two hours to reach the place. The places they passed on the way were said to be only a small area of Yi Gengchen Immortal Mansion. .
"The Thirty-six Immortal Mountains of Qudong, stretching 8,888 miles, are all the boundaries of Gengchen Immortal Mansion." Seemingly noticing what Liao Tingyan was thinking, Master Dongyang said, "Our sect is indeed very large. Yes, many low-level disciples will live in these affiliated cities for the rest of their lives, just like the citizens of the mortal world."
Liao Tingyan: Mom, I have gained a lot of knowledge.
From a distance, Liao Tingyan saw a huge square, almost like a plain, with dozens of jade pillars standing on both sides, the towering tower on the center line like a phoenix, and there were already quite a few disciples standing there. , and a steady stream of people came, and the scene was so grand and magnificent that Liao Tingyan felt guilty.
Dongyang Zhenren is like a parent who sends a child to the examination room. After sending the child, she can only encourage her with loving eyes, and then exits and waits, leaving Liao Tingyan, a newcomer, to blend in with a group of beauties.
Liao Tingyan stood in the corner and looked up, only to feel that she was at the scene of the beauty pageant. If it was a beauty pageant, it would probably be a fight, because everyone was as beautiful as a fairy, and it was necessary to choose the champion. It's really a bit difficult, and it's even a bit aesthetically fatigued after watching it for a long time.
After watching for a while, she had to lower her head to do eye exercises, which was too irritating to her eyes.
There were at least 10,000 people on the field, beauties in various dresses chatting softly, and some people found Liao Tingyan's head.
"This, I don't know what kind of junior sister?"
Liao Tingyan is also a social animal anyway, and he is still good at dealing with people. He immediately politely said that he is a disciple of Qinggu Tiandongyang Zhenren.
The big beauty who spoke covered her mouth and smiled, with a trace of contempt in her eyes, "Oh, it's not a junior sister, it's a junior nephew." Then she ignored her and probably didn't look down on her.
Liao Tingyan just listened to it roughly, and found that these beauties around them were either single spiritual roots, mutant single spiritual roots or top-level double spiritual roots. What kind of talent comes out every ten years in the world of self-cultivation? Get together here, like a pile of Chinese cabbage.
Moreover, their seniority is basically the same as that of Daoist Dongyang, and their identities are also high. Of course, they look down on Liao Tingyan, a little disciple. If it wasn't for her beautiful face and her eye-catching among so many people, they would not take the initiative. Talk to her.
Liao Tingyan: Don't worry, it seems that as the leader said, I'm just here to go through the motions.
"clang-"
After a loud bell, the field suddenly became quiet, and then five-color streamers flew from the sky and fell one by one in front of the hall above the square, turning into five people. Because they were too far away, Liao Tingyan couldn't see their appearance clearly, but felt that they had a peculiar temperament, and they were so majestic that they dared not look directly at them.
This should be the leader.
"Five people came!"
"Yeah, a few years ago, there was a great demon that brought disaster to the world. At that time, there were only four palace masters. Why are there five palace masters to choose a few people today? It seems that the above really attaches great importance to this time. thing."
Liao Tingyan pricked up her ears, listening to the beauties around her chatting gossip in a low voice, her tone of voice was all surprise and excitement.
On the high steps above, an old man began to speak, "Today, we will select a hundred people from among the disciples on the field. After Daoist Cizang leaves the customs, we will go to serve."
The old man said a few more simple words, and then let a few people next to him take action together, releasing ten thousand auras. Everyone in the field will be enveloped in a layer of spiritual light, and Liao Tingyan will naturally be like that. Those rays of light went out after a while, and there were only a hundred people who remained in the field. These were the people selected by the palace masters above.
Liao Tingyan, who was shrouded in light, said, "..." He said that he was going to go through the motions, so how did he get selected? ?
