"Princess, what do you mean?" Qiu Yuexin stared at Lin Feng and asked curiously.
"The imperial concubine is the emperor's woman." Lin Feng smiled, and Qiu Yuexin glared at him fiercely, but there was no anger in her heart, but a faint joy.
Princess, this name sounds pretty nice!
"The time is almost here!" Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at the void, and said lightly. At this time, the rising sun was like fire, full of vigorous vitality, adding a bit of artistic conception to this grand ceremony.
"It should be soon." Qiu Yuexin nodded.
"Buzz!" A ray of bells seemed to come from a distant place, hitting the hearts of the crowd. At this moment, the noisy space seemed to quiet down in an instant. Many people looked solemn, raised their heads, and looked at the 18,000 people. Thousand-foot long ladder, at this moment, a ray of light flows down from the rooftop, like a round of sparkling water, passing through each step of the ladder. In an instant, there is an extra layer of light on the ladder. A layer of fantasy brilliance, with a hint of ethereal atmosphere, seems like a real ladder to heaven.
"It's different!" Lin Feng's expression condensed, and he raised his head and looked up at the sky. At the top of the ladder, there seemed to be bright lights shining, and he didn't know what they were.
"Buzz!" Another bell sounded, and the crowd looked even more solemn. They looked up into the sky with pilgrim-like eyes, and saw a figure in the distance, in the direction of the rooftop, crossing over from the rooftop.
This figure is simply dressed, quiet and mutual, with his hands clasped together and a rosary around his neck. Looking at him, the sense of peace in the hearts of the crowd is even greater.
Ascetic, the person who appeared was actually an ascetic.
"Those who come to congratulate, please come up to the auspicious cloud!" A ray of golden light bloomed on the ascetic's body, which was particularly dazzling and bright. The whole person was like a small golden Buddha.
"Is this ascetic still an ancient Buddhist monk?" Qiu Yuexin's expression condensed and she exclaimed. Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Aren't ascetics all Buddhist cultivators? Why are ancient Buddhist monks so? meaning?"
"Who told you that ascetics are all Buddhists?" Qiu Yuexin rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and said, "Ascetics are simple people with a will to practice. They practice hard, cultivate the Tao with one heart, and have a pure heart and few desires. This is suffering; if they shave off the glitz, they will leave behind three thousand worries. , abandon fame, wealth and external glitz, wear a skin and a cassock, this is a monk, there are good and evil in the monks, even Buddhas and demons. "
"But the practice of ascetics is different. There is no definite saying about practicing Buddhism, especially ancient Buddhism. It is even rarer now. In fact, ancient Buddhism is also Buddhism cultivation, but it is distinguished by time limit. Those who practice ancient Buddhism are ancient Buddhist monks. The two There is no absolute, and it can also be called one. The auspicious clouds can appear between the hands of this ascetic monk, exuding the aura of peace, making people feel peaceful and refreshing. Even if they are so far apart, they seem to be able to learn from every move of this ascetic monk. I feel the natural tranquility and peace, and this kind of temperament that is in harmony with the sky is quite like the ancient Buddhist monks recorded in ancient books, so I would guess this!"
Qiu Yuexin slowly explained to Lin Feng, Lin Feng nodded slightly, it was natural for him.
The golden light bloomed, and the auspicious clouds rolled in, turning into thousands of auspicious clouds. Under the illumination of the morning sun, they became even more peaceful and full of fairy spirit.
Above the ground, there are many figures rising into the sky. These people have extraordinary temperament, either with unruly arrogance or humility. However, the crowd knows that these people who come to congratulate are all disciples of Emperor Wu. , even the place where Emperor Wu personally passed on, if you are the emperor, all living beings under the emperor are ants. If you are not the emperor, you are not even qualified to come to congratulate, and no one will ask for trouble like this. This means that these people Behind them stood the Martial Emperor.
There are not many people above Xiangyun, only a few dozen, and most of them are together. There are only so many emperors in this vast and endless Eight Desolations, and even fewer can order people to come to congratulate them. Naturally, There won't be too many people.
"Please wait and see for a while on the auspicious clouds, and we will go to the rooftop with them later. Please forgive me!" The ascetic monk bowed slightly to the crowd above the auspicious clouds, clasped his hands together, and was extremely polite.
"It doesn't matter, Master, you are busy with your own business." Everyone nodded to the ascetic. In fact, they already knew who this ascetic was. Among the direct disciples of Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu, there was only one ascetic. Buddhist monks, they are also disciples of Emperor Wu, and they still know this!
"Thank you for your understanding!" the ascetic monk said politely again, then looked at the crowd in the sky again and said loudly: "Those who do not participate in the disciple assessment are expected to retreat on their own and reach the back of the crowd."
The peaceful voice seems to be very contagious. Many people who came to watch the excitement immediately shimmered and backed away. They were extremely cooperative. They all followed the ascetic's casual words.
Today is the day when the two emperors jointly recruit disciples of Emperor Wu. Who dares not to give face
Not long after, countless people exited towards the back. The vast crowd seemed to be divided into two, with the front and rear clearly distinguishable.
The ascetic monk nodded slightly when he saw everyone's actions, and then spoke again: "Today, Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu are recruiting Emperor Wu's disciples. However, there are countless people coming to participate in the ceremony at this time, and there is no way to provoke them. Therefore, Emperor , set up this ladder, an 18,000-foot ladder, with a total of 18,000 ladders. As long as you cross the 17,919 levels of the ladder, you will appear on the last 81st level. In front of the ladder to heaven, that is, to the ninth level of heaven, there is the key to ascending to the rooftop. Only by getting the key and stepping onto the rooftop can you be qualified to compete to become the disciple of Emperor Wu! "
The crowd froze when they heard the ascetic's words. Only by getting the key to the rooftop can they be qualified to compete for the disciples of the Emperor Wu? Just get the qualification!
Lin Feng's eyes were also shocked. It turned out that the Nine Heavens was not an assessment for the Emperor Wu's disciples. It was just an admission ticket.
He had experienced the first level of the Nine Heavens. It was very terrifying. The pressure of the general trend of heaven and earth was extremely terrifying. However, such difficulty was just to obtain the qualifications to become a disciple of the Martial Emperor. After that, he did not know what tests were waiting for him.
Then, after crossing the nine heavens and gaining that qualification, wouldn't the follow-up test for the two emperors to recruit the first batch of Martial Emperor Sect be even more terrifying!
"It's so difficult, but it's reasonable!" Qiu Yuexin whispered. The first batch of Martial Emperor's disciples, I'm afraid Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu themselves attach great importance to it. With so many geniuses coming, the test is not difficult, so what? Distinguish, how to eliminate!
"Eighty-one levels of the ladder, nine steps to one level, are divided into nine levels of heaven. If you want to climb up, it is difficult to reach the blue sky. If you climb to the first level of the sky, you will have the qualifications to go to the rooftop, but only by climbing to the rooftop. He has the qualifications to be a guest, but he does not have the qualifications to continue to compete to become the disciple of Emperor Wu!" The ascetic monk began to explain the rules. After ascending to the first heaven and getting the first key, you have the qualifications to ascend to the rooftop. Otherwise, I am afraid that even the rooftop will be destroyed! Can't get on.
"Ascend to the first heaven and gain the qualification to ascend to the Heavenly Platform, but from then on lose the right to compete for the Martial Emperor's disciples!"
The crowd was shocked, which meant that they would at least ascend to the second level.
"When you ascend to the second heaven, you also have a different key. Only by getting this key can you continue to compete for the opportunity to become the disciple of Emperor Wu. Of course, you must remember one thing. Once you touch the key of the ninth heaven, the key You will be sent to the rooftop immediately. In this way, you will lose the key to the third heaven and the key to the back. However, if you win the key to the back, it will only be good for you, so don’t go there easily. Touch the key, unless you can’t hold on any longer, the further back, the better!”
The ascetic monk said patiently, his voice was very slow but very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Could it be that only the key to the second heaven is qualified to become a disciple? Continue the assessment, and the higher the key you get, the greater the benefits. This makes many people excited and vow to win the key to the ninth heaven. The key shocked everyone!
Of course, at this moment, they can only think about it. They still have no idea how powerful the power in the Nine Heavens will be. No one knows!
"Okay, now, let's climb the ladder to heaven!" The ascetic clasped his hands together and recited, letting everyone start the real climb to the ladder to heaven!
