May, early summer.
This summer is as usual, even hotter than previous years. It seems that the aura has been revived for more than ten years, and finally reached a peak, releasing all the energy.
It's bad news, but it's also good news.
The bad news is that the extremely hot climate will bring great difficulties to various projects in the Xia Kingdom; the good news is that as long as they survive this wave of ravages, there will be a buffer period for the outbreak of spiritual energy, and then it will gradually calm down.
By then, the new environment will be basically determined, and a Xia Kingdom that will be completely changed and full of vitality will be born.
But for now, everyone’s resentment towards the scorching heat is not that strong, because there is a more enthusiastic and more exciting news, which swept the entire country in one day with overwhelming force:
Phoenix Mountain is going to open an altar to teach the Fa!
"Yo-yo! Patriarch Hongjun has descended to earth, hurry up to Zixiao Palace to grab futons, don't leave a seat for the two grandsons of the West!"
"I just want to ask, is this true or not? It can't be a rumor, right?"
"I was at the foot of the mountain that day, and I heard it with my own ears. If you don't come, you will be missed. Don't regret it then!"
"Students asking for advice, what day is the first month of Satsuki?"
"Saoyue is May, so it is the beginning of May."
"Upstairs misunderstood my son. The ancients all talked about the lunar calendar. Gaoyue is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which is June in the Gregorian calendar, and the beginning of next month!"
In an instant, all walks of life were discussing this matter, including private discussions within the government. Some people are even eager to make a move, planning to let their children, nephews and descendants go to Phoenix Mountain for a try.
If you are chosen as the entrance wall, wouldn't it be a pleasure to be a flute boy under the seat of a real person
And no matter what, the news has spread, and believe it or not, you don't want to miss the opportunity. Ever since, the officials began to have a headache again. Baicheng is only a little big, and it simply cannot accommodate so many people.
Especially the mountain road from Shengtian to Baicheng was in a crazy traffic jam the day after Gu Yu handed down the word. In the end, there was no other way, and card inspections were directly set up in each city to strictly control the population of Shengtian.
After all, it wasn't ancient times. To recruit disciples from the Dazong sect, they had to travel thousands of miles in a carriage, rushing to the foot of the mountain in a few months, and it turned out that there were a hundred or eight thousand people.
In today's information society, the audience is more than one billion netizens!
…
"Hey, isn't this the window film?"
On Phoenix Mountain, the thirty-six beams of light disappeared long ago, and everything returned to calm. Xiao Jin looked at the still clear sky and the completely transformed mountain scenery, and said cheerfully, "You can't see anything outside, but you can see clearly inside. This is good, this is good, and it's easy for the car to shake."
"I also feel good, the spiritual energy in the mountains is strong again, and I will practice faster in the future."
Xiaoqiu followed with a smirk, and then asked: "By the way, brother, isn't the magic circle very expensive? Do we still have enough stock?"
"Yesterday I set up the magic circle. The moment I started it, the energy of the 108 spirit stones was running out. I immediately replaced 108 new ones. Now the magic circle is running smoothly and consumes very little energy, which is enough for a year." use."
Gu Yu explained a sentence, and said: "Xiao Qiu, you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of the magic circle in the future, and I will teach you the diagram and principle of the magic circle later."
"Yes, I see!" Long Qiu nodded.
So far, the mountain has been assigning positions intentionally or unintentionally: Long Qiu is delicate and patient, responsible for managing the scripture pavilion, magic circle, agricultural planting, talisman paper production and animal garden (alienated wild boar and sand spider).
Xiao Jin is good at communication and is mainly responsible for scheduling construction, market development and talent recruitment.
Obviously, the two of them, one inside and the other outside, will not be able to escape in the future. As for the unconscionable papa and mama, I don't care about it at all.
Let’s put this topic aside for the time being, and Xiao Zhai, who has been silent all this time, suddenly said: “Lao Gu, since you want to open the mountain gate and recruit disciples, Taoism should make it clear first. You have the method of breathing energy and the art of swordsmanship. Do you put them in one place or separate them? ?”
"It's true that the method of eating qi alone has no power, but it's too contemptuous of the sword art if it's all in one place."
Gu Yu thought for a while, and said: "Let's do this, the method of eating qi is the foundation, and if you find a disciple who is talented in sword repair, then decide whether to teach the sword art or not."
"Okay, then we still have two channels, one for food and one for thunder."
Xiao Zhai blinked and said with a smile: "Hey, maybe we have to rob the apprentice."
"Others can be waived, but this cannot be waived. Of course, they have to make their own choice in the end."
Wow!
The two younger ones couldn't get in the way, but their expressions were strong. In this way, we have to mention the seniority of the two of us, and we have become teachers' wives... oh no, we have become teachers' uncles!
Immediately afterwards, Long Qiu seemed to think of something, with a slightly serious face, he asked, "Brother and sister, what should they do if they are happy?"
"..."
Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai looked at each other, although they were ruthless, they had no choice but to say, "Among them, only happy ones are qualified. Li Dong still needs to observe. Lao Shui, Yan Han and others can only be used as outsiders."
"Oh, then I'd better explain it to them, so as not to feel sad." Xiaoqiu is kind after all.
Xiao Jin's focus is not on this, Baba asked: "Hey brother-in-law, you said that you will set up a test, do you have a plan?"
"Not yet, do you have a good idea?" Gu Yu smiled.
"I don't have it either, but I'm good at it. If you're a troublemaker, leave it to me... ah!"
She shook her head violently, Xiao Zhai slowly withdrew her hand, and said: "Accepting apprentices is not a child's play, but there is no need to be too serious. The test is nothing more than aptitude and character. We each think about it, and then we will study it together."
Well, the head of the household speaks, and the tone settles.
Several people chatted again, and Long Qiu and Xiao Jin went to prepare separately. Sitting under the tree, Xiao Zhai watched the ginseng essence springing up in vain after being fed back by the magic circle, and couldn't help saying: "This thing should take shape, right?"
"How come? It absorbs spiritual energy instinctively, and has no cultivation skills at all. If it doesn't encounter any romance, it will be almost enough after another hundred years of cultivation."
"It's better to be later, the transformation has another child, I don't want to watch him run all over the mountain."
Xiao Zhai paused, then turned around inexplicably, and asked, "You haven't prepared the content of the lecture yet?"
"This matter does not belong to the Fenghuangshan family. I am waiting for responses from all parties."
"In my opinion, it's best to invite the Taoist Academy together. Their accumulation of alchemy and talisman is far deeper than ours. Whether it is internal communication or external teaching, more people will benefit."
"I think so too, but we can't take the initiative and wait."
"gentlemen!"
The two were talking when they suddenly saw Li Dong running from a distance.
He has been practicing formally for nearly half a year, and he is usually offered spiritual rice and spiritual tea, and his body is suffering far beyond ordinary people. In that sword technique, it comes with a matching breath, this will stride forward, use the unfamiliar land flying technique, and rush to the front unsteadily.
"Someone posted a greeting!"
Li Dong handed over two paper letters, Gu Yu took it, glanced at it first, one was from the Daoist Academy, and the other was from the Special Bureau. He was a little surprised that he had so many contacts in the past, why it suddenly became so formalized.
And then, he opened the envelope, Xiao Zhai poked his head over, looked at the beginning, and spouted:
"Respected by Gu Zhenren..."
