"Hehe!"
In the sutra hall, Taoist Huayang read out the first name in a solemn and dignified manner, and made a simple comment: "Last month's monthly exam score was the first, and it should be selected."
"Thank you abbot!" The little girl bowed and saluted.
Others looked at it with envy, but no surprise or dissatisfaction. His performance was obvious to all, and it was expected.
"Xu Ziying!"
Hua Yang read out the second name again, and said: "The monthly test score is second, and you can be selected."
"Thank you for hosting!" Xu Ziying said.
"Nie Zhaoyuan!"
"Baixiang Pavilion!"
He ordered two more boys, the former was the third in the monthly exam, and although the latter was not in the forefront, he performed very well on weekdays, which was justified.
As soon as the four passed by, the atmosphere became tense in an instant. There was only one place left, and the little radishheads were all looking forward to it, hoping to call themselves.
But Huayang glanced around, opened his mouth slowly, but said a name that no one had thought of: "Lin Junlong!"
hum!
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, regardless of the precepts of the scripture hall, it was noisy. Even Lin Junlong himself was very surprised. He did not do well in exams, he is not outstanding at ordinary times, and he is not popular. Why would he be hit by a pie
"quiet!"
Fang Chengzi frowned and shouted fiercely, the sound wave seemed to be blasted out through a big copper horn, and then spread rapidly. The children felt their eardrums tremble and felt extremely uncomfortable, so they quickly covered their ears and shut their mouths.
"..."
Huayang Gujing has no waves, and still makes a simple comment: "Although he is not talented enough, but in terms of hard work, Lin Junlong should be the first in the audience. I discussed with the Taoist priests and should be selected."
This seems to be a reason, children don't understand, if there is an old driver present, they can see through it at a glance.
He He was born in a humble family with superb talent; Xu Ziying was born in an official family and has excellent personal qualities; Nie Zhaoyuan and Bai Xiangting came from a wealthy business family with above-average grades;
In this way, all walks of life are taken care of, which will not cause rebellion, but also inspire the children of poor families to work hard.
"For this exchange, twenty-four forests from all directions will participate. You will be led by Daoist Fang Chengzi and Qinghui, and you will set off early in the morning."
Hua Yang called the five people to him, and said: "From the Taiqing Palace, to the Baiyun Temple in the capital, and then to the Tianzhu Qiyun, the journey takes about 30 days. This time, our Taoist sect has a total of 528 intern disciples. There are good ones, bad ones, kind ones, and domineering ones. You have practiced for more than three months, and you have learned a little skill. When you gather together, conflicts and frictions are inevitable. Remember, let him three points when it is time, not let him You don’t have to worry about it sometimes, but don’t take the initiative to cause trouble, open your eyes and learn the truth, that’s the purpose of this trip!”
"Yes!" The five said in unison.
…
Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmen Town.
Just after mid-June, the temperature gets crazier. In terms of Qianzhou alone, it has broken through the 40-degree mark for three consecutive days, and the population of five million people is miserable.
Especially in the center of the urban area, where the density is the highest and the temperature is the highest. If you squeeze on the bus and rub it casually, you will definitely get a bodily fluid infection.
Tianmen Town is no exception, but there is something strange here: the town is very hot, but the closer it is to Tianzhu Mountain, the cooler it feels.
The power of the masses is infinite, and the secret was quickly discovered. Ever since, every weekend, there are hot dogs who come from all over the world to come here to cool off.
It is also very miraculous that the originally closed farmhouse at the foot of the mountain showed signs of turning around.
"Yo, go out early in the morning?"
"I heard that there is an agricultural garden over there, let's go and have a look."
"Oh, the garden is not far from the mountain, it's cool, don't worry, go there!"
In the yard of a farmhouse, the proprietress said hello and watched the family of three drive away.
The so-called agricultural garden is actually a specially approved fruit and vegetable plantation after the establishment of the base, which is contracted by the local people and is responsible for transporting it to the mountains.
But he is clever. When he sees so many people, he immediately transforms into a picking spot—he can't go up the mountain anyway.
"Oh, what a strange day!"
The lady proprietress was wearing a short jacket, and she was sitting under the big tree at the door, she said to herself: "It's only fifty miles away, forty degrees on one side and twenty degrees on the other side, what's wrong with the world!"
She shook her head, expressing that she didn't understand, and pia lay down on the chair, with the teapot in her left hand and the cattail fan in her right hand, which was called moistening.
"boom!"
"boom!"
She was lying down when she was suddenly awakened by a strong sound. When she got up, she saw a truck pressing the asphalt road and heading straight for the mountain gate.
The proprietress was taken aback, and saw a long box-like black object behind the car. There was also a young man sitting in the co-pilot, his face was pale and he looked sick.
He casually glanced over here, and his eyes swept away...
Hiss!
The proprietress shuddered immediately, a chill suddenly rose up her spine, and she ran around in a cold sweat.
…
Daoyuan, in front of a certain courtyard.
Thirty-four Taoists gathered here, chatting absently in low voices, and glanced at the closed door from time to time. In the Taoist monastery, the only thing that can fight such battles is the promotion of Xiantian.
There were two successful cases before, and it is reasonable not to be nervous, but this time is different, but there are two retreats at the same time! One is called Sikong Chan and the other is called Zhang Wumeng, both are Quanzhen disciples.
They are all middle-aged, have practiced hard since childhood, and have accumulated a lot. Even if they are not as good as Lu Yuanqing, they are still among the top ten players.
The two retreated at the same time, which was both unexpected and reasonable. You have been cultivating Taoism in the mountains for two years, and you have been edified by the nodes every day, and supplemented with Lingmi to help, even a toad can roll.
I don't know how long I waited, but suddenly, Lu Yuanqing and Shi Yunlai's faces were happy, and they both felt the breath in the room, it's done!
"Squeak!"
Sure enough, the wooden door opened, and the two middle-aged Taoists strode forward with completely different auras.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Sikong!"
"Congratulations, Brother Zhang!"
Everyone rushed to meet them and congratulated them one by one. Immediately after, the Taoist priest on duty got the news, and the bell rang again. Dang Dang Dang, a full 12 hits.
"The two senior brothers have been promoted to Xiantian, and the Daoist Academy is like a tiger with wings added. I'm here to congratulate you!" Lu Yuanqing saluted solemnly.
"Don't dare, I will definitely do my best in the future to praise my Qi Yun's prestige." The two quickly returned their salutes.
At the beginning of the year, Lu Yuanqing and the other four were defeated in Changbai Mountain, and they returned to the monastery dragging their injuries. He and Shi Yunlai have not lost their prestige, their positions are stable, because there are always ups and downs in the competition of fighting skills, and they are not so narrow-minded.
But Zhang Shouyang, Chao Kongtu, and Zhong Lingyu were very hard-pressed. They knew they were invincible, and they had the opportunity to choose, but they still adhered to the school's orthodoxy and refused to modify the inner alchemy.
At the beginning, Zheng Yiquan's true strength was the same as water and fire, but later it gradually merged, and now it is indistinguishable from each other—except for the three of them, everyone is practicing inner alchemy.
As a matter of course, he has become an outlier among them. Although Zhang Shouyang still holds the name of the prison, he can no longer convince the public.
But at this moment, the three of them stepped forward to congratulate, Sikong Chan and Zhang Wumeng only responded indifferently, obviously a little less enthusiastic.
"..."
The three of them smiled wryly, and retreated silently, watching the brothers and sisters form a group, feeling like outsiders.
No way, most people don't understand: You have no inheritance! With the advent of the great world, the Taoist sect is in need of expert support. Why is Mao still clinging to the tradition and not letting go? Isn't it good to communicate and improve each other
Even Zhengyi's fellow Taoists hated iron for being weak.
"Senior Brothers, please rest first, Senior Brother Shi and I will visit later."
On the other side, seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Lu Yuanqing hurriedly bid farewell to each other and quickly caught up.
"Senior Brother Zhang, stay behind!"
He moved to the side, intending to relieve the atmosphere, and asked the topic: "I still want to ask, how is the research on the distance communication technique?"
"Oh, this talisman was used by ancient monks for communication. Although the grade is high, the requirements for casting the spell are very low. I have been deconstructing the talisman pattern these days, and it has been quite effective. We can refine it by ourselves within three days." Zhang Shouyang said. .
"Senior brother is a master of talisman, so I have to worry more."
Lu Yuanqing paused, and seeing that he was a little far away from the crowd, he said tactfully: "Brother, since Changbai and his party, I see that you look gloomy and seem to have a knot in your heart, can you tell me?"
"..."
The three of them were silent, and after a while, Zhang Shouyang suddenly stamped his feet, turned around and said, "Abbot, I deeply feel that I am not talented enough, so I ask you to step aside, and it is better to leave the position of supervisor to the two senior brothers."
"you… "
Lu Yuanqing was very surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, so he resigned directly. He is also very embarrassed, because the other party is the direct descendant of the Heavenly Master, where is his identity, but in the current situation, it is really not suitable for him.
"Abbot!"
They were chatting when they suddenly saw a Taoist running from the front yard and said, "Abbot, three brothers, there is a visitor!"
"Do you know your identity?" Everyone was startled.
"Uh, he didn't say anything, he just asked you to come over."
"What does that person look like?"
"Alone, oh no, there are two people, one is not very old, and the other is covered with a black cloth, so you can't see your face."
"oh… "
Lu Yuanqing had a clue in his heart and said, "Let's go and have a look together."
A few people came to the front hall quickly, and saw two people standing in the hall, the first one was tall and thin, with handsome features, but there was a gloomy and weird feeling, and a lot of points were dropped for nothing.
"As expected, it really is Li Daochang, a rare visitor!" Lu Yuanqing warmly greeted.
"Well, long time no see!"
Li Suchun sized him up and replied stiffly.
"Please sit down!"
Lu Yuanqing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's been nearly a year since we left Mount Emei. Daoist Li is here all right. Hehe, that brother Iron Corpse is still very imposing!"
"..."
Xiao Lizi gave him a weird look, as if he was complaining silently: Why are you talking so much nonsense! He directly pulled out a piece of paper and unfolded it: "This is an official order. I want to stay in the mountains for a while."
Lu Yuanqing didn't read the document at all, and said: "You want to come, just come, why do you need cliche articles, my Taoist Academy will welcome you. But I took the liberty to ask, the Taoist priest suddenly came to visit, I don't know what happened?"
"..."
Xiao Lizi glanced at him again, and said two words neatly: "Retreat from the summer heat!"
